“I worked for Corporate America for approximately 10 years. I started as an accountant, and a senior financial analyst auditor, working salary-based. I kept seeing everyone else that I would train get certain promotions. I would ask why I wasn’t being considered for a promotion. The response was that I was too good at training people and they wanted me in that seat. So, I figured I’d learn as much as I could so I could eventually go out on my own.
They needed me in that role. But it's tough when you're trying to advance and provide for your family; when you have goals and you’re living on a fixed salary. I knew if I woke up every morning and looked for more and more work, I could set my own salary instead of just sitting there and having someone put me on a fixed salary.
This gives me much more control. This is what I’m trying to teach my kids. They don't settle for a fixed salary when they work. They can get paid for their efforts.
We’re giving them the choices and giving them the confidence to understand they have those choices.”
Many of our clients tell us, “I’ve spent years making money for others - now it’s time to do that for my family.”
When we ask what they’re looking for in a business, the answer often comes down to control - control over their time and their financial future. They share frustrations about feeling undervalued and recognize that true growth and independence come from taking charge of their own path.
Owning a business provides the opportunity to achieve personal and financial freedom while passing these values on to the next generation. It’s more than just a career change - it’s a chance to break free from corporate constraints and build a lasting legacy of empowerment and choice for their family.
We cover many current and relevant topics. A few include:
◈Teaching your children skills and life lessons in a family business
◈The “‘it takes a village mentality” of franchise ownership
◈Why an independent business owner chose to expand his portfolio via the franchise model
