Climbing The Mountain
I often refer to the process of researching a franchise or business opportunity as “Climbing the Mountain”. This is due to the challenge, perseverance, time, persistence and of course the intestinal fortitude required to start and complete either task successfully.
No one new to mountaineering simply wakes one morning and decides to go climb Mt. Everest. They commit to the goal and invest in the needed training, planning and research to insure the highest probability of a successful climb. Yes probability. No climb can ever be guaranteed to be 100% safe and equal challenge awaits on the ascent as well as the descent.
The same can be said for the would-be business owner. To simply say, “I want to own a business” unfortunately will not make it so. Their “Mountain to climb” is the time, research and planning required to identify their ideal opportunity. Unfortunately, for the business owner, climbing this mountain is not enough. For the climb to be successful they can not climb back down methodically to the flat ground below. They must stand at the top of the mountain and make the decision to jump believing in the preparation that got them to this point and the faith they will grow wings.
When considering a business search it is best to begin with the end in mind. Will you be able to “jump” when the opportunity arises?
Have a great week!
