\"Man\u00a0<\/a>
\n 
\nAnd so it begins………<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scenario;<\/p>\n

A fairly successful 49-year old, (and recently downsized<\/em>) executive, decides to start gathering some basic information on franchise businesses<\/strong>. (After enduring 6 months of absolute dead-ends in his job search.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

He’s starting to get tired of competing with approximately 500,00 other<\/em> out of work executives, for the few good jobs that are actually being offered. He says to himself; “I think I’d better look at all of my options.”<\/p>\n

This brings him to the place that we’re at now, folks; the kitchen table conversation he’s about to have with his loving wife of 22 years…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Husband<\/strong>: “Honey, I’m thinking of buying a franchise<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The Wife:<\/span><\/strong> “Oh. Really? Which one?”<\/p>\n

The Husband<\/strong>: “No idea, really. Just a franchise of some type.”<\/p>\n

The Wife:<\/span><\/strong> “So, like a Subway<\/a><\/strong>, or a McDonald’s<\/a><\/strong>?”<\/p>\n

The Husband:<\/strong> “No..no..nothing like that. I think.”<\/p>\n

The Wife:<\/span><\/strong> “Why are you thinking about this now?”<\/p>\n

The Husband:<\/strong> “Because the US job market is just so damn strong, currently.”<\/p>\n

The Wife:<\/span><\/strong> “You don’t have to have an attitude. Really, why a franchise<\/span>, or for that matter, why a business<\/span>?<\/p>\n

The Husband: <\/strong>“Because the US job market is doing so well!”<\/p>\n

The Wife:<\/span><\/strong> “Point taken. So, Mr. Trump<\/em>, how much $$$<\/span><\/strong> are we talking about, here?”<\/p>\n

The Husband:<\/strong> “Well, I haven’t really gotten that far yet.”<\/p>\n

The Wife:<\/span><\/strong> “Let me know when you do. I’m sure you understand that I’m a little nervous about this idea of yours.”<\/p>\n


\nNext Steps<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before this prospective franchise owner jumps online, and starts looking for franchises at any one of a number of quality franchise directories<\/a><\/strong>, he should continue his conversation with his wife, and get some of the more uncomfortable issues out of the way.<\/p>\n

It’s time for what I call, a “kitchen table” talk, and as you’ll see in this post over at the “Official Business Link To The US Government<\/strong>,” you’ll need to grab some supplies.<\/p>\n

Please read my “Franchise Opportunity Exploration Starts At The Kitchen Table<\/strong>” post, over at SBA.gov<\/a><\/strong>. It will help you do this right.<\/p>\n

(Of course, the scenario could be the same if the downsized executive happens to be a woman.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
