How many summer vacations have you missed because of your job? Are you tired of watching the boss take off to exotic ports while you’re stuck behind a desk, in a truck or working two jobs just to make ends meet?

Don’t just dream about a vacation; buy a franchise and start planning

Well, you’re not alone. Statistics show that up to 40% of Americans don’t take any vacation time, and only 23% of employees take all their eligible time off. (forbes.com) As crazy as that sounds, there are reasons that people choose not to take vacation time or personal time.

• 25% of workers don’t even get paid vacation time

• Can’t afford time off or the expense of a vacation

• You return to a daunting work overload if you take time off
• No one else can do your job

• Fear they’ll discover they don’t really need you
• A working spouse can’t get time off
• Leaving vacation days unused proves your loyalty to the company

If you’ve been trying to make leisure time and vacations with the family a priority but work keeps getting in the way, maybe it’s time for a change. As a franchise business owner with Home Franchise Concepts (HFC), you’ll be your own boss, with options to manage your time for a healthier and happier work/life balance.

Franchising puts you in control

HFC knows that success looks different to everyone, and their franchise business models allow you to create a business that lets you live the lifestyle you want.

• Work full or part time
• Control your schedule
• Own one or multiple territories
• Hand pick your team of employees

• Set business and personal goals that are important to you

If that sounds like the recipe for a brighter future, you may be a franchise owner at heart!

We say we want them to be as successful as they want to be. Let them define success, let us be the support system to help them get there, whatever their success is. If it’s flexible hours, let us foster that. If they want to be multi-million-dollar producers (and we do have lots of them), let us provide the opportunities to do that.”
