Heres why ActionCOACH is the worlds #1 choice in white collar franchises ...

When you make the decision ...

Inside every human being is a knowing, youre either an employee or an entrepreneur You can ght it for a time. In fact, many people have stayed working for others their whole lives and hidden their true entrepreneurial spirit. But no matter what if there is an entrepreneur, a business owner within you waiting to get out, then youll never be truly happy, until you fulll your dream ActionCOACH is all about the entrepreneur, that person who dares to take control of their own life, who dares to work for themselves, the person who decides and commits to their own business, family and life goals.

... is all about the entrepreneur,

that person who dares to take control of their own life, who dares to work for themselves, the person who decides and commits to their own business, family and life goals.

You get to work with people whove left the corporate miss my kids birthday and Im making someone else rich world behind. Being an ActionCOACH is as much about your freedom as it is theirs.

Going back to work for someone else will be the last thing you will ever do ...
You see, you might not truly understand this yet, but the most important part of becoming an ActionCOACH is not the business youll build, the money youll make or the clients youll get to build relationships with Its you its what being a leader, running your own team and knowing that its your choices that are the most important. Its how youll feel every day when you are truly living that entrepreneurial dream. Its about the respect youll feel knowing you really are the boss.

Its what being a leader, running your own team and knowing that its your choices that are the most important.

What better team to join

Success in life is all about your team. And the caliber of the team is all about its leader. So, you can buy any business, but what you really need to know is whos on the team In fact, if the people on the ActionCOACH team were running a hot dog franchise, then Id suggest you look at that. Heres why ActionCOACH is made up of industry giants. Entrepreneurs who used to hide out as heads of Fortune 500s, owners of massively successful companies, great leaders, people who you would admire for just their track record if it wasnt for the fact that when you meet them you realize theyre just really great people. Almost 1,000 coaches in 22 countries with more experience in business success than you could imagine. Dont even think about the business you are buying, think about the team you are joining. Hundreds of great business leaders, from all over the world for you to learn from, build a business with and basically just hang out with. Mixing with that caliber of person alone is almost worth every cent you invest to join the team at ActionCOACH.

A Franchise or Go it alone ?
Every entrepreneur has thought about it: Should I join a team, or do this myself ... ? The decision is a huge one and of course people want to go with what seems easiest, most cost eective and the best

Well, one of these two options costs a huge amount more in the long run. Can you guess which ... ?
While it often seems cheaper to do it yourself, in the long run it almost always costs you so much more Let me explain Most business owners forget one very important thing. Doing the work of your business is only about 20% of the business. Take ActionCOACH for example. The actual Coaching work is only about 20% of the systems youll have to develop if you went out on your own. Here are just some of the things that come as part of a franchise you would pay for in both time and money if you went out on your own

Sales systems just the years of trial and error

working out the sales scripts, the steps in the buying decisions and the best way to charge a client alone would be a massive cost in both time and money, not to mention the sales you missed by not knowing what to do

Marketing systems from your website, to

your brochures, sales letters and tools - there would be more in graphic and web design fees than you can imagine. Dont even think about the cost of writing and then testing ads that do and dont work. The cost alone of running ads that dont work break most new business owners.

Client systems from basic administration to contractual documents and client records seems easy but it takes both time and dollars. Now add in systems that are proven for client management and retention. How many months might you waste before you start to get to know what works best? IT systems I dont think you even want to imagine what it would cost to build a solid business management program,
putting aside the time you would need to allocate to the build out. Again, this needs to be constantly maintained and re-written.

yourself, the team and the systems are there. Put bluntly, theres enough to learn without having to do it all on your own.

In a franchise, at least you dont have to learn everything

Your entire business would have to be built from the ground up. Not just getting clients, but the whole thing. One other point here, especially if you are going into either your rst or one of your rst 4 or 5 businesses. It generally takes at least 4 or 5 businesses of your own to learn what you are doing. Let me put it this way, your rst million is the hardest. Why? Because you have to learn how to make it, while youre doing it. The same is true for going into your own business. Theres a lot to learn. In a franchise, at least you dont have to learn everything yourself, the team and the systems are there. Put bluntly, theres enough to learn without having to do it all on your own. Add up all the time and money it would cost, the learning youd have to do, and youll be amazed at how far ahead joining the ActionCOACH team will put you.

An ActionPRACTICE or an ActionFIRM
Heres where you get to decide what sort of ActionCOACH business you want to build. There are two dierent types of ActionCOACH companies you can choose from and each one has its own benets.

1.
This is our award winning work from home single coach business model. Giving you both a solid business and a great work from home lifestyle you get to run a lower overhead, lower stress level operation. Here youll focus mainly on the 1 on 1 ActionCOACH programs to build your practice.

2.
Here youll build a Firm with 8 coaches and several full time professional sta to run the operation. Run from an oce suite with training facilities, this is obviously a much bigger business opportunity and one where you will be oering the entire product and services range from the ActionCOACH ladder. Obviously we want both types of franchisees to join the team. Sometimes its hard to get those with all the experience who would make great coaches to want to build a team again. Many just want to build a business that serves them, keeps them busy and allows them to add value given all the knowledge and experience they bring to the team.

Also, many young parents want that work from home opportunity to give themselves a lifestyle to t their business and earning activities around their family and not the other way around. On the other hand, we get many serious executives and past business owners who know they are great at building a company and are really looking at a great entrepreneurial opportunity.
