Your Career: Resolved to change in 2010?
Explore Franchising at this FREE Seminar.
There’s a new question on everyone’s mind about how The Great Recession has impacted jobs and careers. It’s not about when things will return to normal. It’s a growing concern that what we’re experiencing IS the new normal!
The modern office/factory-model job as we know it actually could be headed for extinction. Goodbye, permanent employment. Hello, contingent work, contractual employment and “composite” careers.
Today’s reality is that nearly 1 in 5 of us is looking for work and millions of us will never find employment comparable to what we’ve been used to. The new work paradigm is one that rewards flexibility, inventiveness and boldness, not entitlement. And a fair amount of luck.
So regardless of where you are in the workforce – or not – the choice for a better future could be to start your own business in 2010.
While it’s true that 80% of traditional businesses fail in the first five years, 94% of FRANCHISED businesses succeed making a properly-selected franchise a truly low-risk investment as well as a career that won’t disappear. Industry experience isn’t an issue because most franchisors prefer owners with no prior experience so they can teach them their methods. You really can succeed with a franchise!
Did you know that...
-
Franchise Businesses account for nearly 50% of all retail sales in the U.S. yet only 1 out of every 12 businesses is a franchise.
-
94% of franchise businesses are still in business after 5 years vs. 20% of non-franchise businesses.
-
According to the Small Business Administration, less than 2% of all business loan defaults are from franchised businesses.
-
Most franchisors prefer owners who have no prior experience in their industry so they can teach them their methods.
-
The average yearly net income for the owner of a franchise business exceeds $91,000.

Someone currently in job transition?
Worried about the future of your current position?
