Looking for a hot stock tip? Let me offer an alternative. If you’re looking for the best investment vehicle, take a look in the mirror.

Why be at the mercy of frequent fluctuations of the stock market, when there’s another avenue that offers control of your money plus potentially higher and more consistent returns?

Invest in yourself. Buying the right franchise business can be a powerful hedge against the volatility of Wall Street. In addition to control of your investment, you’ll be your own boss. You get the ability to manage business operations and create profitability through your own effort and commitment, with the solid grounding of a proven system.

There are several franchise ownership models to choose from, including the owner-operator model, which requires the biggest time commitment. You work full-time in the business and are involved in all aspects, wearing all the hats. This model has the lowest investment and quickest return because the person who cares most about the success of the business has hands-on, daily involvement.

With the executive owner model, you make a full-time commitment but focus your time on building the business. Your employees do the day-to-day work, freeing up your time to develop strategy, execute a marketing plan, manage financials, and lead your team.

The investor (or semi-absentee) model lets you keep your day job while launching the business. You “manage the manager” who oversees all day-to-day matters, while you devote 10 to 15 hours a week to executive leadership, administrative functions, and long-term strategy. This model requires more capital and has a longer ramp-up period. But it also offers a potentially higher upside if you, the owner, have business acumen and a desire to scale to multiple units.

If you want to take the reins and grab control of your destiny, invest in yourself and become a franchise owner. I can help you find the opportunity that suits you perfectly. Schedule a call today.
