So you want to be your own boss? Starting a kitchen remodeling franchise might be the answer. Read on to learn what it takes, what it costs, and what you could make with Kitchen Solvers.
What’s The Secret to Starting a Successful Business?
In an Entrepreneur magazine article titled “So You Want to Be Your Own Boss,” Tamara Monosoff shared some tips to guide and motivate prospective start-ups on their way to launching successful businesses. Her first bit of advice was to “take a stand.” That’s a great place to start: if you’re fed up with your current work circumstances or are tired of watching good opportunities goto waste, accept that you’re the only person who can fix things. “Stop blaming the economy, your boss, your spouse, or your family,” Monosoff writes. The only person who can start your kitchen remodeling business is you. More often than not, self-sabotage and self-doubt are the only things holding you back. Be accountable to your goal and prioritize it. With 5 more of Monosoff’s start-up tips in hand, today’s post explains how Kitchen Solver’s can help you take a stand and become your own boss:
- Identify the right business for you. “Give yourself permission to explore,” Monosoff says. “Be willing to look at different facets of yourself… and listen to your intuition.”Is the remodeling industry right for you? To run your own remodeling business, you’ll need to interact with clients on a daily basis, so people skills are certainly a perk. And coachability is key, since you’ll need to be able to learn new skills and follow instructions to uphold Kitchen Solvers standards. But beyond that, our flexible remodeling franchise model makes it right for most kinds of people. People who like working with their hands can get directly involved in the installation, while investors and managerial types can take a more executive approach.
