To be good – and I mean really good – you have to want success for others. You have to be investing in your team, and be willing to do what it takes to help them go the extra mile. Most of my time now is spent coaching and recruiting. You then buy a mini franchise for under £200, as we did. It’s your own business within our business. So you’re part of something hugely successful, highly profitable
and in a word, amazing. Yet you’re autonomous. You set your own hours (part-time around your job, until you’re ready to make the switch). Work from where you want. And the success and rewards are all yours. You don’t only get paid when you work. Our model creates a residual income. So you can take time off. Go on holiday. Take your children where they need to go – or sit on the sofa with them when they’re sick. Or you’re sick. And you still get paid your ‘salary’. No questions asked. How much better and easier would life be, if you had all the ‘perks’, but didn’t have to put up with the rest of it? There’s a car incentive plan. Annual bonus scheme. Holidays to be won. Benefits you’d expect from a large organisation. Yet you’re your own boss. It really is the best of all worlds. People from all walks of life can be successful; there is no stereotype for success, and I’ve had the privilege of working with people as diverse as a Medical Doctor (GP); Law Student; Human Resources Manager; Health Visitor; Estate Agent; Business Owner; and Management Consultant; as well as stay-at home–Mums, retail staffand child minders. What they’ve got in common, was the desire to be free from their ‘lives of quiet desperation’ and the willingness to try something new.
