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.

Reinvention Is a Skill.
For more and more people, getting back to work is no longer a straight path. Instead, it often means making a change. People are switching industries, learning new skills, finding different ways to earn money, and more often, starting their own businesses. Journalists now call this the reinvention economy.
The Age Stereotype
When people talk about age bias at work, the focus is usually on technology. Many assume that experience and adaptability cannot go together, and that the person who knows the most about the job is often seen as the least able to do it differently.
Change jobs. Change paychecks. Not who’s in control.
In March, a frontend developer with ten years of experience found out his company was closing. He had a wife and a two-year-old son. A few months before, he tried to find a second job but had little luck. He already knew enough about the programming job market to understand what he was facing.
