It is often said, that when you love your job, you will never work a day in your life.
Of course, this isn’t true; no matter what industry you’re working in and no matter how much you love it, there will always be work and there will always be times when it is hard.
That being said, if you are working in a sector that you are passionate about, that work won’t feel as strenuous and it will be something you actually want to do.
On the flip-side of this coin are those of you who are in a career which you don’t love.
Thankfully, today’s generation enjoy a level of career flexibility which has never existed before. Moving into a new career and one that suits both your wants and needs, is now easier than ever.
In fact, many of the franchisees who use this site have made that leap from a stagnant career.
If it is something you are considering, then read on, as we list five signs that now might be the right time for your change.
Confidence needs a boost
Canadians spend an average of around 37 hours per week working; that is a lot of time to be doing something you don’t enjoy.
If you are in the position of working full-time hours in a job you don't like, you may feel as though your confidence has been drained.
However, go easy on yourself; your career isn’t a measure of who you are you are as a person. That being said, working in an area that you actually care about can be transformative.
You’re not feeling valued
If you are in a job where you feel like you are not appreciated, then it may be time to look elsewhere.
One of the best things about becoming your own boss is that you are not relying on a superior to tell you that you are doing a good job; your bottom line will tell you that!
Our franchise opportunities include profitable businesses that match perfectly with hardworking, ambitious entrepreneurs.
Can you be one of them?
You’ve reached your roof
The thing about working for others is that there will always be a roof on what you can achieve.
When you are working for yourself, that is not the case. For instance, if you are doing great with one franchise, you can always become a multi-unit owner and work on expanding elsewhere.
Being a business owner is all about setting goals and surpassing them!
Your interests lie elsewhere
The problems aren’t always about profit or progression.
Every now and again, somebody realizes that they have to change their career, because they quite simply aren’t interested in their work.
If this is the case, then it may be worth looking into an area you are interested in.
For instance, if staying healthy is one of your passions, then it might be worth looking at a fitness franchise as a real possibility. Or, if you love working with youngsters, then perhaps you should check out our child-related franchise opportunities.
You have an urge to make a real difference
There are people who just reach a point where they want to be working in an area where they are making a real difference to others.
Care franchises have proved to be a popular choice for people who feel this way.
