What about starting a business? If you a true DIY’er – business ownership might be right up your alley. Even if you don’t have the “million dollar idea” – you can be a business owner of a franchise concept.

Entrepreneurial Football: Team Franchise or Team You

You’re a star just thinking about starting your own business.  You have the drive to take on a difficult challenge.  It’s just like being a quarterback.  Will your talent and drive take you to down the field for a big score?

When it comes to starting a business, you have a couple of options.  Are you going to go with the veteran Team Franchise?  Or are you going to go with your very own expansion team?

TEAM FRANCHISE		TEAM YOU
You	Quarterback	You
Your “scouts” (franchisors) know key characteristics to look for in supporting talent.  In some cases, they may help you find staff.	Running Back Wide Receivers Linemen	Do you know the right people?  Do you know what to look for? Do you know how to recruit the best team?
Your franchisor is there to support you.  They have proven systems that have worked.	Coach	You’re on your own, looking for advice … Separate what you think will work from what won’t realistically work.
Fellow franchisees can support you and let you know what has worked, and what hasn’t worked.	Offensive Coordinator	Do you have trusted people to help you out?  Do you have people that will give you advice that you might now want?
A proven operations manual, computer systems, and other processes that have driven others down the field.	The Playbook	You are calling the shots.  The question remains, what if you are up against a defense that you have never seen before?
The brand may have local fans that already know what to expect.	Fans	You’re starting out only with friends and family.  You have to get more people to root for you.

Both “Team Franchise” and “Team You” are viable options.  In fact, the franchisors at one time were on their own “Team You.”  But, as you can see in the above comparison … “Team You” starts out truly as you.  “Team Franchise” has a developed support system to help you get down the field.

Don’t get tackled on the pursuit to a dream!  Contact FranNet today to learn about our free services and consulting that can help you on the road to business ownership.  We have free events and free webinars, as well as offer free one-on-one consulting with a no pressure, no commitment approach. 

Join me for my event on September 30 entitled “Is Franchising Right For You?” in Clarkson, MI.  Learn whether franchising could be a path for achieving your goals, and if so, how to go about finding the right fit for you!  To find out more information at frannet.com/lbelford.

You can also contact me at lbelford@frannet.com or 810-423-3956.

Are you ready for kickoff?  Choose your team, and lets hit the field.
