Is This the Best Time to Start an Axxiom Business?
Certainly the timing of choosing to begin a new business has many considerations, not the least of which is the economic environment. However, the Axxiom opportunity may be unique in that when economic circumstances are challenging more people begin to consider options other than working for someone else.
A great number of our clients are corporate refugees that either voluntarily or non-voluntarily are faced with the loss of their jobs and having to take control of their own destiny. They are simply tired of finding themselves once again in the job market only to discover they are out of work longer, finding fewer new opportunities to replace their income and benefits, having to consider yet another relocation for their family, and other unpleasant choices to return to corporate America.
Alternatively, many others are simply tired of the long commutes, working to create wealth for people and companies they work for, and a host of other reasons centered around limited income opportunities and lifestyle concerns. For example, women may hit the“glass ceiling” and find it difficult if not impossible to close the wage gap. This fact alone accounts for the reason women are going into franchising at twice the rate of men.
Even in a robust economy, many people remember the impact of being downsized and better prepare to never again become the victim of the whim of corporate cost cutting. So they prepare for the eventuality of this happening again and start to explore business ownership on their terms and timing while still employed.
We avoid characterizing the Axxiom opportunity as totally “recession proof”. In reality, we believe there are truly no businesses that excape the adverse affects of the economy to some extent. But, it is fair to say when the economy is weak our business is good and when the economy is robust our business is even better. The bad news we hear so much in the nightly that we are all cautious. In difficult times there are more potential clients to find and engage in the discovery of the benefits of business ownership. We firmly believe starting an Axxiom Advisor franchise consulting business now is the best time to enter our industry and waiting for the stars, moon and sun to line up may be a missed chance to build something important to you.
