Military service is an excellent training ground for a civilian career as an independent franchise business owner. The skills mastered and the lessons learned contribute to successful business ownership in many ways, and the attributes of service, dedication, loyalty, commitment and resilience serve well in starting your own business.
Transferable skills for business success
You may not have put a name to your strengths and the skills you gained through military service. Working with many successful veteran franchise business owners in the HFC family, we’ve been able to define those skills that specifically contribute to success when buying a franchise.
- Leadership Skills:Strong leadership skills are practically a given for someone exiting the service. After years of running day-to-day operations and hiring, training and managing staff, leading a team in business will be second nature.
- Respect for the System:Being able to work within a prescribed system and follow protocols is part of the military mindset, and this translates very successfully to working within a proven franchise system. The business model is already defined, with a fail-safe support system in place, dedicated to your success.
- Teamwork:Teamwork is the hallmark of military life. In every endeavor you’re part of a team and relying on other teams. As a franchise owner, you rely on the support from the corporate team, the entire network of franchisees and your own hand-picked team of employees.
- Risk Taking: Fear isn’t your driver. You’re not afraid of the risk involved in starting your own business. With proper due diligence, you’re ready for the work and commitment required for success in your chosen franchise.
- Self-discipline:Since you are now the boss, the self-discipline you mastered in the military will keep you on track for business success. With a clear goal ahead and a “mission-first” mentality, you’ll be able to power through whatever comes your way.
- Time Management: When you own a business, managing your time wisely is important to getting done each day what needs to be done. Military training teaches time management skills that will help your franchise business to flourish.
“The training, discipline, and teamwork instilled in members of the U.S. Armed Forces prepare every veteran for a successful role as a franchise business owner. Our goal is to provide significant financial incentives to make a veteran’s transition into the civilian workforce a smooth and successful one.” –Chad Hallock, Co-founder of Budget Blinds and Tailored Living
