Can You Keep Your Job and Still Run a Franchise? | Franchise Fridays with Jeff Dudan Can you really keep your job and still build a successful business? In this Franchise Fridays episode of Unemployable with Jeff Dudan, we break down the truth behind owner-operator vs. semi-absentee (executive) franchise models. Jeff Dudan reveals what it really takes to run a franchise on nights and weekends, how to evaluate if you have what it takes to go all-in, and what mistakes people make when they think franchising is "passive income."
