Christmas and new year holidays are great times for reflection. The time off with family and friends, away from the pressure and stresses of work are often welcomed with open-arms. The new year implies new starts and new opportunities and so it should.
What’s the one thing that we all do at the start of a new year? We look at resolutions to improve our well-being or achieve our personal goals. But how many of us stick to them?
It’s often the same with our careers, when we look to change the affect that unhappiness in a job has on the balance with our family time and social life. Is it really enough to just simply think about change? A new year is a great time to think about a fresh start, a fresh approach and a fresh outlook on life but more importantly, a new year is a great time to finally act.
Opportunities are everywhere and 2019 promises to add new ones if you’re willing to be proactive and take your future into your own hands.
What does the opportunity look like?
Well, it will be set in a new political landscape and we’ll finally understand exactly what that is in the coming months when Britain leaves the EU. From my point of view, our management franchise offer doesn’t change – businesses will still need cleaning - a daily requirement not affected by seasonal or economic influences and therefore just as advantageous and gainful as ever.
With an annual spend in excess of £8.8 billion, and growing every year, the fact is that the commercial cleaning industryis showing no signs of slowing. As we prepare to leave the EU, NIC remain to be the ideal business opportunity and choice for new franchisees.
When you take a moment to really think about it, it’s obvious – there really is no shortage of business opportunities in the commercial cleaning industry. Look around you – Offices, shops and numerous retail outlets, factories, schools, hotels, event venues… The list goes on and these are places that need cleaning every single day.
How do you turn opportunity into reward?
An NIC management franchise rewards your time and effort.
If you share enthusiasm and ambition like theirs, then you’re halfway there. To put it simply, the opportunity is… to truly earn what you’re worth- something that you may feel is missing in your current job or situation. Only by working for yourself can you take advantage of that opening and the reward is the ability to manage your own time, improve your work/life balance and benefit from a low risk investment and high profit.
NIC offer a minimum Gross Profit in year 1, subject to investment level and that’s where NIC differentiate from many competitor franchise models. The guarantee alone highlights just how much opportunity is out there and suddenly, the reward from taking advantage of that opportunity is in sight and is tangible, can be planned for and importantly, set in a well-considered business plan.
Applying your enthusiasm and dedication is of course not the full ticket to success. You’ll need something else too…
