🎙️ Episode 241 - In this episode of Franchising 101, Tim Parmeter challenges a surprising idea: "Maybe now isn't the right time to own a franchise"—and not for the reasons you might expect. Amid market uncertainty, tariffs, and personal life changes, Tim walks through the deeper, more personal question every aspiring franchisee needs to answer: "Is this right for me?"

This episode covers:

• Why world events like the economy, tariffs, or even a new baby shouldn't be the sole deciding factors
  

• How to know if franchise ownership is really the right move for you
  

• The importance of understanding your "why" before investing in any business
  

• Real-world examples of clients facing tough choices—and what tipped the scale for them
  

• Why most people shouldn't own a franchise—and why that’s okay
  

• How to distinguish between a legitimate roadblock vs. just another excuse
  

• The power of taking control of your future, finances, and freedom
  

Whether you're casually curious or seriously considering franchise ownership, this episode is an honest and empowering reality check to help you determine your next step.
