Ever wondered why some people decide to buy a business or franchise? Has the urge to just take the plunge, a leap of faith, ever occurred to you to be your own boss?
Why are so many people drawn to the idea of becoming an Entrepreneur?
The latest trend to follow for upcoming and new business owners is the idea of buying into a franchise. Reasoning behind this is that the market has been tested, the business concept has been trialed and tested. It causes the new comer to the business world to feel safe and that they actually have a chance of making it.
Take me for example. I was a typical graduate that followed all the rules, obeyed all the systems, yet I had no job satisfaction, didn't earn a salary that's worth settling for and I always wanted something more.
I was always the one with brilliant ideas, innovation and the willingness to make things happen.
What went wrong you may ask? Well, here is the thing. I was just the willing, yet waiting employee. So I decided to take the plunge. I bought into a business, working hard but realizing my dream and making things happen.
Reality check!!! Yes, it isn't easy, but let met tell you a little secret. If you have the desire to own your own business, do it! You will make a good Entrepreneur. It takes someone who can dream big to make it big. Hard work goes hand in hand with success, but in the end there is nothing more rewarding than knowing you avhieved your dream and you are actually one of the rare individuals that Is Living the dream.
Do yourself a favour. Take an hour. Make yourself a cup of coffee, switch on your pc and Google "Entrepreneur". Read success stories, then Google Business for Sale and see what is out there?
