​

Your preparation is the key. In other words, the time to get all your ducks in a row is not only an essential step for your success  but it is also a tremendous gain an insight which will help to reduce  your  risk.
 
1. Start Reading  &  Studying.

Reading books on these topics will help you get a better understanding of business, and what it’s going to take to succeed.  You want you to read books about:
  • Starting a business
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Franchising
  • Business plans
  • And if you really want to get a leg up, read an accounting book.
​“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”  – Dr. Seuss
2. Financials

Before you take the time needed to search for a franchise to buy, it’s important to see where you stand, financially.  The best way to do it is by putting together a financial statement.
 
Generally speaking, the most time-consuming part of doing a financial worth statement is gathering all the information you need.
 
You’ll need your mortgage loan and credit card statements, information on all of your investments, and more. In a nutshell, you’ll need to gather everything that lists all of your assets and all of your liabilities.
 
3. Learn About Small Business Loans
 
If you’re like most of the people who are considering franchise business ownership, you’ll need a small business loan for the lion’s share of your startup capital needs.
 
That’s why it’s crucial to learn all you can about the types of loans that are currently available. And the information you need is only one-click away.
​
4. Share Your Plan In Franchising With Your Family's Member

Transitioning from employee to franchise owner is a big deal.
 
That’s why it’s essential to discuss what you’re thinking of doing with the people who will be affected the most; your family.
 
And when you have the discussion, don’t hold back. Tell them why you want to be your own boss. Tell them how you’re going to get the money. Tell them how careful you’re going to be-and that you promise to do great research.
 
In the long run, as long as you’re upfront with them, and communicate with them during the entire process, chances are they’ll support your decision.
​
5. Eliminate Distraction

The last thing to do, before you start your search for a franchise opportunity is to eliminate all unnecessary distraction.
 
Specifically, take an internet-social media break. Spend a few months with you.
 
Refrain from answering emails, logging into your social media networks, or reading articles about franchising-or business. Instead, spend some time away from your Smartphone. Maybe you can spend time outdoors, or at least somewhere that will provide a change of scenery. But, it has to be distraction-free.
 
Doing what I just recommended will force you to take a hard look at what you’re thinking of doing.
​
Summary 

To sum things up, deciding to become the owner of a franchise business is a big decision. The preparation you do before you begin your franchise search really matters. That includes talking about your idea with your family, and spending a period of distraction-free time alone. Combined, all these action items will go a long way in preparing  yourself up  for success as the owner of a franchise.
