Imagine how scary it is to sign a franchise agreement and then immediately quit your job of 13 years, well that’s what happened with Valerie. 

This one is particularly special for me. Valerie was a client that I coached and worked with through her process of trying to grow a non franchise business, and then eventually pivoting to a franchise . We talk about how Valerie and I started working together, and why she decided to pursue opening a franchise business instead of continuing to grow her antique sales business.

We dive into the fear of making a decision, how to combat overthinking, and analysis paralysis as well as how the universe tested her with a very large raise literally the DAY she was making her decision to say yes to the franchise. 

What we didn’t mention in this video is her very first sale in her franchise; she did $12,500 in sales on Day 1. EPIC. 

So what is it like to be an introvert starting your business, and have to go out and mingle to generate business? What is it like to so desperately want to be an entrepreneur but feel like you can’t break out of the sometimes crippling self doubt and fear? Well make sure you watch this one to the end to find out.
