Is a Franchise right for you? - Suzanne Gray

Don't Retire, Refire Podcast

In this episode, we explore the options available by buying a franchise. Suzanne has a great deal of expertise in helping individuals to figure out if business ownership is a good fit for them, and especially whether buying or starting a franchise is an option and how that fits into their life. She takes an "inside out" approach of firstly helping her clients to discover what matters most to them in their life. What are their life goals, financial goals, and work-life balance goals? How do they want to be spending their days so that both their life and work are integrated and provide fulfilling experiences? Having done all of that, Suzanne councils to only then start to do research on what type of business would support that life best. For most clients, this is a revaluation and provides an exciting next chapter for their future. Her closing advice is to keep an open mind and don’t prematurely dismiss options that present themselves. Give them some space to see where they might take you.
