The Entrepreneur’s Source Explore 6 Ways New Franchisees Fail
The Entrepreneur’s Source® Explores 6 Real Ways New Franchisees Fail.
An ever-increasing number of people are successfully leaping from Employment to Empowerment®. Recent reports show in 2016 new businesses and established businesses are growing quicker than over the past few years.
The Growth Entrepreneurship 2016 Index, from the Kauffman Foundation’s reports: “The entrepreneurial growth increase in the 2016 Index represents the largest year-over-year increase in the past decade.”
However, today, to be successful, new business owners need help: they need fast, easy access to the right resources to have a fighting chance in overcoming business ownership challenges — especially those new to the entrepreneur scene. And while there may be many resources, often, new entrepreneurs can’t find them or worse yet, find the wrong one.
That’s why there’s no doubt a franchise with a tested and proven business model is an excellent vehicle to start your first successful business. Still, time and time again, new franchisees “F” it up by letting 6 “F words” get the best of them.
Unfortunately, even with a proven business model, obstacles and challenges that sometimes prevent many individuals from taking the leap to business ownership do exist. Let’s face it, if the pathway to self-sufficiency was free of obstacles and challenges, then everyone would take it.
When a person starts to consider opportunities outside of the standard 9-to-5 options, they will inevitably run into what The Entrepreneur’s Source® calls the 6 F-words. Most people only see the gap between their current situation and income and the success that they envision in the future and say, “I don’t know if I could survive that leap.” They are busy focusing on the gap instead of the other side, so the six F-words take over and win.
Explore The 6 F-Words Every Franchisee Must Master to be Successful
An individual doesn’t have to experience all six of these obstacles to become debilitated in their ability to become entrepreneurial; it just takes one. Realizing and being able to identify these barriers is the first step in the process of overcoming them and ultimately reaching their goal of self-sufficiency.

Rest alone won’t solve burnout if your job is the real issue.
You finally took a break. Maybe it was a long vacation, take some time between jobs, or even a full career pause. You caught up on sleep, unplugged, and started to feel like yourself again. But once you returned to work, the exhaustion crept back in within just a few weeks.
We understand how it feels when you do not hear back.
One person set an alarm for 3 a.m. to be first when new jobs appeared. Another used AI to send over 1,300 applications in a month. Someone else took a video interview from his car while waiting at a food pantry. Over 16 months, he applied to more than 6,000 jobs.
Feeling like your job search will never end?
You’ve applied to countless jobs and updated your résumé over and over. You’ve had interviews that seemed promising, only to get no response. Friends and family are surprised you’re still looking, given your experience. Sometimes, you even skip social events to avoid talking about your search.
