The pandemic provided many Americans ample time to reevaluate their career path as they navigated teleworking and suffered from worries over layoffs and furloughs. Workers who face what I call “Battered Career Syndrome” have little job security and are being asked to work harder for less reward. Time for reflection is leading many hardworking Americans to take ownership of their careers by fulfilling their vision of self-sufficiency. That process can help people identify their income, life, wealth, and equity goals to propel them forward during this difficult time.

Given the events of the first half of 2020, people may naturally be hesitant about starting a business. Franchisors and entrepreneurs both believe you don’t start a business because of what is happening today. They open a business based on what is expected to happen tomorrow.

As people have more time to reflect upon their careers while we go through a period of high unemployment numbers, there are growing opportunities in franchise and small business ownership, making it the ideal time to consider entrepreneurship.
