The Chasm

It is fairly common for people who are considering business or franchise ownership to look at a directory of business or franchises; magazine lists of “top” franchises and businesses.  Many in business are severely skeptical about these lists. I am one of them. Is that really a smart way to find a business or franchise that is a good fit for whom you are and what you want?

A good analogy is how one selects a house to buy.  No one goes to an estate agent and says, “Give me a list of every house you have for sale.”

If you are currently not in business; not used to the cut and thrust of business then I may be able to help by learning your business history if any, business skills and education, business goals, lifestyle ambitions, desired important aspects of the business, liquid capital, income level, Only then is it possible to make an intelligent recommendations. Not guessing,  but rcommendations based on what I am told.

My services cost nothing.  It is a very smart way to get focused.  A great friend of mine; a businessman, once said “it’s not very far from the job side of the chasm to the self-employment side; possibly only a few small steps but the challenge for some people is that the chasm is ten miles deep!”
