\"interestingtimes\"<\/a>Today’s potential franchise entrepreneurs may feel cursed for being incapable of forecasting the future. Is this the right time to make a career change? Is fear keeping your future on hold?<\/p>\n

As the only full-service POS provider, from software development to our unparalleled ongoing support, we at Sintel Systems see a lot of folks looking to make a mid-life career switch, even in these uncertain times.<\/p>\n

In an article posted on their website, „Career Change: If It\u2019s Right, The Time Is Always Right,“ FPCfranchise.com looks into how fear plays a role in any change.<\/p>\n

„We humans are pre-wired to seek safety and survival,“ they write. „We feel better with what we know. To change anything, we have to overcome what author Steven Pressfield termed \u2018the lizard brain\u2019.“<\/p>\n

With all the uncertainties, venturing into new territory is scary enough on its own. But it’s also true that resisting by pulling back from pursuing the right opportunity can have bad consequences for all time.<\/p>\n

The article lists some surprising companies that were founded in times of economic turmoil:<\/p>\n

General Electric, 1890<\/b><\/p>\n

Global recession, crash of the US economy, run on the gold supply<\/p>\n

IBM, 1896<\/b><\/p>\n

Prolonged economic slump<\/p>\n

General Motors, 1908<\/b><\/p>\n

Aftermath of another U.S. financial crash<\/p>\n

Walt Disney Productions, 1929<\/b><\/p>\n

In the middle of the Great Depression<\/p>\n

Burger King, 1953<\/b><\/p>\n

In these „interesting times“ for franchise hopefuls, FPCfranchise.com says there are many good reasons to believe the time is always right. „You may have to work harder than you would have during better times,“ they write, „But you may also find opportunities that others will miss because they\u2019ve given in to fear or given up completely.“<\/p>\n

Also, those who begin a new career in tough times are unlikely to be troubled by negative comparisons. What boom? They’re contending with what’s happening now, and generally come across as a business owner who’s more positive, confident and more likely to do well with customers who like seeing those traits in a service provider.<\/p>\n

So keep looking for the next career move that’s right for you and when you find it, take FPCfranchise.com’s advice. „If you get excited thinking about it, if it makes good use of your skills and experience, if it has the potential to provide future security for you and your family \u2013 and especially if it represents the fulfillment of a life-long dream \u2013 go for it.“<\/p>\n
