If you’re ready to get off of the employee treadmill, using your skills to create wealth for others, and transition from employee to business owner, this is one roadmap to success. During quarterly downsizing, rightsizing, or whatever-the-nicest-word-for-the-moment-sizing, those managers and directors earning higher salaries are released.
At this point in your career, you’ve likely led teams, had a say in the strategic direction of your area of responsibility, created and managed budgets, and worked on a project or twenty.
These experiences are strengths that can help you gain financial independence, create the lifestyle you want, and leave a lasting legacy in your community and family.

Success Story: Building a Legacy Through Franchising
Meet John and Sarah, a dynamic duo with stellar corporate backgrounds. They envisioned building generational wealth and positively impacting their community. John held a director-level position in operations, while Sarah excelled in marketing at Fortune 500 companies. Their corporate journey honed their skills in leadership and strategic execution.
They aimed to create a legacy for their children and grandchildren and foster community development through their business. The business they envisioned provided a valuable service for their community and a place of employment to help others start their careers.
They leveraged their corporate skills and my help in franchising to transition smoothly into franchise ownership. With meticulous planning and strategic execution, they established a thriving franchise.
John and Sarah involve their young children in their business, teaching them practical lessons in entrepreneurship. This hands-on approach builds their legacy and instills valuable business principles in the next generation.
Why Franchising is the Ideal Path
Franchising offers a structured yet flexible model for success. It allows you to leverage established brand recognition, proven systems, and robust support networks while leading your local business and those who work with you. This strategic choice facilitates wealth-building and community engagement, as evidenced by the success of current franchisees.
The biggest hurdles when starting your company without franchising are:
1) Proof of concept: Do potential clients think your products or services are valuable enough to grow a business?
2) Operational efficiencies are trial and error when starting a business. Getting your new start-up business to be cash-positive can take longer than you anticipate.
Key Steps in the Transition
Assessment: We evaluate the style of a franchise brand that best suits your strengths, focusing on your long-term vision and lifestyle. We help you define the non-negotiable factors essential for your business ownership. A clear vision leads to a more direct path from where you are to your destination.
When you plan a vacation, you plan for a specific destination, say a week, on the sunny beaches of Roatan, Honduras. You don’t plan for a week on a random Caribbean island.
Research: Together, we identify franchise opportunities that align with your vision and values based on the non-negotiable factors we define. The franchisor’s executive team is critical for franchisees’ success.
At Bella Vista Executive Advisors, I talk with the top executives of franchises to understand their why and business philosophies.
Planning: We create a comprehensive business plan detailing the steps to reach your destination.
Due Diligence of the Franchisor: Our goal is to answer as many questions as possible to minimize risk. Risk reduction involves educational calls with the franchisor and validation calls with current franchisees. Current franchisees can share their experiences and detailed financial numbers that franchisors cannot.
Execution: With the support of franchisors and experts in funding, legal, and real estate, we implement the plan, guiding you through every step of your journey. I introduce you to the best experts in the franchising space to ensure your plan is solid and execution is efficient.
