I love Fridays for the same reason I love Mondays because I love to work\u00a0on my business. My company Concierge Home Services has six\u00a0locations in three\u00a0cities.\u00a0I speak with people in every stage of life who are interested in opening a franchise. Last time I wrote about what to expect from franchising after graduation. If you are mid-career and think\u00a0that perhaps now is the time to quit your job and get into a business, then read on for what to expect from franchising in mid-life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Depositphotos_46265699_m-2015-grey-man-at-PC.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6600\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Depositphotos_46265699_m-2015-grey-man-at-PC-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"mature man working and learning on his laptop computer\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Depositphotos_46265699_m-2015-grey-man-at-PC-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Depositphotos_46265699_m-2015-grey-man-at-PC-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Depositphotos_46265699_m-2015-grey-man-at-PC.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Be Ready to Learn<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Not all your career experience is relatable to your franchise business. Your new world has lingo, acronyms, policies, and procedures you know nothing about. Be open to all the training and coaching your franchisor provides, even when it comes from people younger than you, with less life experience. Accept that they are an expert in the system you\u2019ve joined, and be ready to learn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Change is Minimal<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">One of the many benefits of investing in a franchise is that you have invested in a proven business model. If you want the freedom to change and modify things as you see fit, then start your own business from scratch. In a franchise, the operating manual isn&#8217;t a suggestion &#8211; it&#8217;s what you are bound to follow. In smaller systems, there may be room for making suggestions, but change is minimal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Adjust your Level<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Your corporate credentials don\u2019t count for much when you are a new franchisee. You won\u2019t make any friends among your franchisee peers if you brag about what title you had in your old life. Recognize that part of your fresh start in life means you are the newbie again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coffee-shop-IOadvisory.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6577\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coffee-shop-IOadvisory-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Coffee Shop Franchise\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coffee-shop-IOadvisory-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coffee-shop-IOadvisory-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coffee-shop-IOadvisory.jpg 830w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Lifestyle Shift in Franchising<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If you are starting a franchise in a new territory, the change in your income will mean adjusting your household spending. Businesses take time\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">to grow. Income may not be an issue if you\u2019ve taken over an established franchise with a healthy revenue stream, but you may have drained your savings and maxed your line of credit to make the investment. If you&#8217;ve joined a food or retail franchise, your work hours may be very different than what you had in your corporate life. In any case, expect a routine and lifestyle shift for yourself and your family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Judgement<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Friends you forgot you had may be eager to share their feelings about your decision to become a franchise. Expect to hear some horror stories and warnings. Remember that they may be projecting their own fears about taking such a bold step, and may envy your new life as a franchisee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Franchising is just one option to fulfill your entrepreneurial dreams, and it\u2019s worth considering. Franchised businesses account for $68 billion in annual revenue in Canada. I recommend starting with this Canadian Franchise Association <a href=\"https:\/\/cfa.ca\/lookforafranchise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(CFA) article<\/a> to see if franchising is the best fit for your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Do you have<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>career<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>or HR-related\u00a0questions?<\/strong>\u00a0Contact Dr. Helen by\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:helen@ioadvisory.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/appointments-career-coaching-counselling-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phone<\/a>, or via direct message on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drheleno_ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IOAdvisoryServices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/helenofosu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">More than career coaching,\u00a0<em>it\u2019s career psychology<\/em>\u00ae.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I\/O Advisory Services<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Building Resilient Careers and Organizations.\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Please share this article using any of the social media icons below.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last time I wrote about what to expect from franchising after graduation.
