If you’ve thought about moving from corporate into business ownership, this week’s podcast episode is for you.
After 15 years as a leader at Johnson & Johnson and DJO Global, Ken decided to scratch his entrepreneurial itch, making an unexpected but strategic choice. And I’d say it paid off in a huge way!
Because of Ken’s laser focus on customer satisfaction, his loyal customer base followed him even after he separated from the franchisor; an incredible feat for someone with no background in that industry.
Choosing the right business vehicle for you is such an important decision. For me, franchising is the perfect foundation to explore entrepreneurship with confidence, because you’re not alone.
In today’s episode, Ken shares what made him gravitate to an entirely new industry, and the immutable laws of ownership that can allow you to thrive in any business.
