Working for yourself sounds like a dream come true. But, how do you know if you'll "make the grade" when going at it alone? While you may find some reassurance in knowing that franchising provides you with support and you are never really alone, there are some important questions you need to ask yourself to better understand if you are cut out to be the boss.

Many of the questions you need to ask yourself would be relevant to any self-employed business activity, whether a franchise or totally independent, working on your own or running a company with a number of employees.  An honest self-assessment of whether or not you are suited to running your own business (of any type) may start here:
  • Are You Service Oriented?
     
  • Are You Customer Focused?
     
  • Are You a Goal-Setter?
     
  • Are You a Decision Maker?
     
  • Do You Have a Basic Need to Control and Direct?
     
  • Do You Thrive on Achieving Results?
     
  • Do You Have High Confidence and Self Esteem?
     
  • Do you have drive and persistence?

Further, if you are considering a franchise business, then you would need to consider the following:

  • Can You Follow Business Procedures?
     
  • Do You Fit Within the Organization?
     
  • Do You Get Along Well With Others?
     
  • Are You Coachable?

Of course there are many other questions that you should consider.  If you have been generally positive about the questions above, then the next step would be to get a copy of the Free Kyros Report: "Right Place, Right Time". 
 
In it you will find a much more detailed set of assessment questions that will prove valuable to you whether you are actively looking to secure a franchise business, weighing up the options of starting a franchise or an independent business; or are just considering moving from an employed position to running your own business for the first time.
