Top 5 Success Secrets for Veteran Franchise Owners

Almost anyone can try to acquire financing and apply to own a franchise.

But for the most successful franchise owners, especially those with a U.S. Military background, finding the most success comes down to planning and executing on a level beyond what the average person is willing to do.

And that’s where veterans can thrive.

Drawing on their military-honed skills – and pairing them with newfound franchise success principles – they’re able to thrive, helping to ensure long-term success.

Here are the Top 5 Success Secrets for Veteran Franchise Owners:

1. Dedication and relentless commitment. Veterans are naturally committed, and pouring that commitment into their franchise is what will help make it prosper. That means staying committed, even when things are going a little off course; it’s your job to work tirelessly to get things back on track.

2. Set focused, attainable goals that make you work. Set goals for your franchise that make you wonder if you can achieve them. Whatever you do in goal setting, make sure they’re focused and in line with your overall business strategy and plans.

3. Solve problems that create efficiency. Most business owners put band-aid fixes on problems, which then return again. As a successful veteran franchise owner, however, you’ll not only solve problems, but you’ll implement efficiency improvements as a result to help minimize their impact on your business in the future.

4. Provide supportive, visionary leadership. The best franchise owners know that being right means being right, right now; in other words, they’re always looking for areas to improve. As a veteran, you can draw on your superior team leadership skills and help empower your teams to perform at optimal levels, all while planning new ways to improve your business.

5. Hiring, developing, and keeping the best talent. As an extension of your leadership skills, the best franchise owners hire, develop, and retain the top talent. This is necessary to ensure all systems and processes are fully optimized, which creates long-term profitability. Veterans possess superb teamwork and leadership skills – combine them together, in just the right way, and they’re on the road to surrounding themselves with the best people for the job.
