How Misinformation Derails Dreams

Thinking about starting a business? Franchising can be an incredible path to financial freedom, BUT one of the biggest obstacles isn’t money, experience, or even timing, it’s misinformation.  And boy how we’ve seen this kill business ownership dreams!

It’s easy to get lost online with so many opinions, articles, and half-truths about franchising or any other subject for that matter. Some people will tell you franchises are “too expensive” or that “only food franchises make money.” We’ve heard it put, “You’ll just be buying yourself a job.” None of this is universally true, but these misconceptions stop too many would-be entrepreneurs in their tracks.

The Influence of Family and Friends

You might have the entrepreneurial itch, but your family and friends? Not so much. Case in point, John (names changed) and his wife, Amy.  John was deep in the business discovery process, well-informed, and excited.  Amy meant well, but her lack of information and advice came from a place of caution, not expertise or even understanding. Skepticism isn’t always personal, it’s just that they are unfamiliar.
