\"that<\/a><\/p>\n

You have some choices to make about your career. You could:<\/p>\n

1. Keep your current job<\/p>\n

2. Keep your current job, but ask for a promotion<\/p>\n

3. Keep your current job, and look for a better one<\/p>\n

4. Keep your job, and look for a way to become your own boss<\/p>\n

5. Leave your job, and look for a way to become your own boss<\/a><\/p>\n

Go ahead; read 1-5 over. I did.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lot of career choices. It\u2019s a good thing that you don\u2019t have to choose more than one.<\/p>\n

You Can Make A Great Career Choice<\/h2>\n

I’ve made some great career choices<\/strong> over the years. I’ve also made some lousy ones.<\/p>\n

Some of the best ones involved taking some-or most of the emotion out of the decision. The not-so-good ones were almost always emotionally-based decisions.<\/p>\n

We all have little voices in our heads-some more than others<\/i>, based on my very unscientific observations of humans over the years.<\/p>\n

These inner- voices are almost always accurate. You know which ones I\u2019m referring to. Right?<\/p>\n

If not, I have an example that may jog your memory.<\/p>\n

Should You Go Out With This Person?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s say that you\u2019re single. You’ve been trying variety of techniques to meet people. Blind dates, eHarmony<\/a>\u00ae, speed-dating…the usual ways.<\/p>\n

One day, you end up meeting someone. This person has seems to have everything you want; great looks, intelligence, availability\u2026everything.<\/p>\n

You decide to meet for coffee, and you hit it off, big-time. I mean, big-time<\/b>. \u00a0Then\u2026it hits.<\/p>\n

Something about this person\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0feel right<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Something is telling you not<\/b> to go out with this person.<\/p>\n

That something is your intuition.<\/p>\n

You have it. I have it. We all<\/i> have it.<\/p>\n

And, it\u2019s up to us whether we listen to it or not.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how things have worked out for you, but for me, whenever I’ve ignored my intuition-that little voice inside my Crown, things haven\u2019t worked out very well.<\/p>\n

I really try hard to listen to that little voice these days. Do you?<\/p>\n

What Should You Do About Your Career?<\/h2>\n

I know that you really want to make a great career choice<\/strong>. I can\u2019t answer that question for you. It\u2019s something that you<\/i> have to do. You have to make the choice.<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019d like to leave your current job.<\/p>\n

It could be that your boss is a freaking idiot, or it could be that you just hate it<\/a>. If it\u2019s time to make a move, start putting things in place. Put some feelers out. Try to find out which companies are growing. Do some networking. Go to some local business events.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re working for a good company<\/p>\n

Could it be time to make an upward move? Is there a way that you can set yourself up for a promotion? Who do you need to talk to there? Are there some projects around that you could get involved in\u2026so you can show your stuff?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re in middle management or at the C-level<\/p>\n

Have you been able to save some money over the years? If you have The Itch\u2026to be your own boss, is there a way for you to stick around at your job for a bit and<\/i> start a franchise business? Opportunities like this aren\u2019t very common<\/a>, but if you can swing it, you could have multiple franchise units up and running by the time you leave your company.<\/p>\n

You could just walk away<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t recommend it, though. I did it numerous times myself, and every time I did it, I regretted it a few days later. And, every time it happened, it was an emotionally-based decision. It\u2019s much better to have something waiting in the wings before resigning from a position. Trust me.<\/p>\n

Being The Boss: A Great Career Choice?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s say that you\u2019re hell-bent on making a move-and it involves becoming your own boss.<\/i> That\u2019s great! Just make sure that you decide what type<\/i> of business you\u2019re suited for. It may or may not be a franchise.<\/p>\n

Important:<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re someone who hasn’t had a glorious history of following rules in your career, please think twice about becoming the owner of a franchise business\u2026a business model that\u2019s 100% rule-based<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I want you to be your own boss if that\u2019s the path you\u2019re choosing.<\/p>\n

If you feel that you\u2019d be a good fit for a franchise, rock on! Start here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If that little voice inside your head is telling you otherwise, look at some other way to go into business for yourself. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

Maybe you decide to keep your job. Maybe you decide to put some things in place to help you get a promotion. Maybe you decide to look for a new job. such as searching for board member<\/a> opportunities. Maybe you keep your job while starting a business.<\/p>\n

So many great career choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
