What made you decide to explore franchise opportunities?
I wanted to pursue an entrepreneurial life and had not previously considered a franchise. After networking with some folks, I discovered how powerful the right franchise system could be in establishing and scaling a business.
When researching franchise opportunities, what criteria mattered to you most?
I wanted a franchise that provided quality support for the fees it charged. I also wanted to invest in a business model that served others.
When doing your research, which questions did you ask Right at Home franchisees?
I asked franchise owners in the system which key metrics they track, the path to growth and success, and the things they wish they had known when they first started.
Which questions did you ask the Right at Home Corporate Team?
I asked Right at Home‘s corporate team about the key differentiators of their franchise opportunity over others, their primary support focuses, growth strategy, and conflict resolution process.
When Opportunity Knocked—This Right at Home Franchise Owner Answered
Which of your prior skills and experiences do you use as a Right at Home franchise owner?
My learning agility, tenacity, emotional intelligence, project management, and leadership skills have served me well as a Right at Home franchise owner.
What were your biggest challenges when you first started, and how did you overcome them?
Understanding a brand-new business, brand-new systems, and a large market to tackle. I wasn’t able to get hands-on with any of my main systems, so it was a massive learning curve. Also, I was replacing two owners/operators with one staff member, so the process of learning together was tough, but we did it!
How does the franchisor support and encourage your success?
Right at Home provides tons of material to make our lives easier. They have full-time business coaches to help you work through any of your key business concerns or issues. They also provide facilitated performance groups with other owners to really grow your business.
What are you most proud of and why?
I am most proud of my team and the extent to which we’ve been able to grow the care we provide for others in the area. I’ve also loved helping Veterans and their families unlock their VA benefits and seeing how much relief that provides our prior service members.
What advice would you give to a potential Right at Home franchise owner?
Make sure the franchise or business you’re buying matches your values and skill sets. If there is misalignment, every other piece of the business will be much harder.
