Again, another statistic that we frequently reference in our podcasts and some of our webinars and other content is the number of industries that the franchise business encompasses. 

Today they're saying there are over a hundred plus industries represented by franchises. 

This is where I really have seen the growth. There are a lot of new franchises coming out, and a lot of new industries. Although to clarify I won't say new industries, but in industries where there weren't franchises there before. So I think it's really interesting that not only are the number of franchises growing but so is the number of industries you can find a franchise in.

There's business-to-consumer there's business-to-business. If you can think of the industry, there is a franchise for it. There are franchises for ATMs, or Bitcoin, right? There are franchises for crime scene cleanup. There are franchises for absolutely everything out there. 

Now, another interesting statistic. 

The number of jobs franchising directly creates is over 1 million jobs. 

So that’s a lot of jobs. You find a lot of people working in these franchises that we're telling you that you see as you're driving down the street. So it is a massive growth industry for jobs in this country as well. 

The final statistic that I actually found to be super interesting, and I really didn't even have a concept on this when I had first seen it or heard it.

Nearly 3% of the amount of the U.S. nominal GDP franchising represents. 

So that means that it's 3% of our GDP in this country and I'm guessing and growing rapidly. So if you're interested in franchising, it's a wonderful place to be. It's a wonderful place to look if you're interested in learning more about business and becoming an entrepreneur. These are businesses that have established business systems in place to help you be successful. They now represent a large part of our economy and probably going to continue to grow going forward. 

So the final statistic is not really a statistic. 

If you are interested in learning more about franchise ownership, you should contact us. 

You should let us know what you're interested in and why you're interested in it. We will certainly love to reach out to you and help you learn more about this industry.

Franchising is just such a phenomenal opportunity. What we didn't mention is that we own a franchise ourselves. We have for the past 16 years. And therefore when we're helping candidates such as yourself learn about franchising, we practice what we preach. So all the numbers and the stats that we shared with you today, we're part of that in this amazing industry called franchising. 

If you're going to go into business for yourself, wouldn't you rather be in business for yourself, but not by yourself and with a franchise? You get that because you're getting a proven system and all of the support, training and resources to set you up for success. What makes it work is being matched to a franchise that makes sense for you. That's what we do. We look at your transferable skills, interests, resources, and passion, and match you to a franchise that could be a great fit. We would love to talk to you. 

We talk to candidates in all realms of life, people who are looking to transition out of their corporate job and they're just miserable. We have veterans that we work with. We have husband-wife teams that we work with. So no matter where you are, if you want to get to your Next Level, please reach out to us.
