Perhaps 2015 is the Right Time to Pursue a New Work Life

Perhaps 2015 is the Right Time to Pursue a New Work Life Go confidently in the direction of your dream. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau Do you have a dream to be self-employed; to own your own business? Does this dream inspire you, energize you, and stir your inner drive to do everything you can to achieve it? Perhaps the most important question is, How will you achieve your dream? The answer to this question is imperative because it is THE REASON most people never realize their dream. Too often franchise / business owner wannabes simply lose their focus and drift away. These people, who really want to own a business, dont ever get to enjoy that wonderful experience because they allow the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty Doubt) Factor to grow, fester and steal their vision.They have no guidance or strategy in place, no knowledge of what is needed and must be sometimes sacrificed, to have that dream come true. Most people have no idea how to achieve the goal of becoming a business owner. They dont know what type of business is right for them, or where or how to start the process. So, most people simply get overwhelmed with fear, uncertainty and doubt. And, when people are unsure as to what, how, and when, they STOP. The paragraph above could have described me in 2001. From an early age, I always wanted to be self-employed, but after spending 25 years in corporate Human Resources roles, I had no idea how to achieve my dream. I possessed a belief that there was a business that would provide a better lifestyle for me out there somewhere, but I didnt know how to get from here (corporate employment) to there (The Dream). I was feeling over-whelmed and fearful. I didnt let FUD stop me though. Instead, I obtained the services of a franchise consultant who guided me through the process of becoming a refugee of corporate America. And, as is often said, the rest is history. Dont just change your curtains, change your view. I did!  Read my story.

Are you allowing your professional life to wander aimlessly or stand still? Perhaps you are in career transition but have always wanted to be self-employed.
