It’s a Week About Love … Do You Love Your Job?

Valentine’s Day is a week filled with hearts, chocolate, cupid and roses.   Love is in the air.  But, is love in the air at your workplace?  I’m not talking about an inter-office romance; I’m asking do you love your job?


According to a Society for Human Resource Management survey (SHRM), 81% of US employees reported overall job satisfaction with their current job (2013).  This is unchanged from 2012.

Now, this may be a bit surprising.  You might have been expecting a lower satisfaction number.  But, do all of those people truly LOVE their jobs?


STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Starting your own business gives you the flexibility to choose what you want to do.  If you are an avid photography, you can get into photography.  Are you a car guy/girl?  From auto repair to rental, there are many ways to get into the car business. 

Did you know that you can actually leverage some already-successful businesses by starting a franchise (in a business category that you love)?  This allows you to take advantage of key practices, brand awareness, and successful business systems that give you a head start compared to starting a business from scratch.


WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT BUSINESS INDUSTRY CATEGORIES?
ADP is the company that provides HR, payroll time, tax and benefits administration services to businesses across the world.  ADP releases an employment report monthly that covers a number of jobs in the country.  For franchise jobs, here are the different industries they list:
  • Auto & parts dealers
  •  Building materials and garden equipment and supplies dealers
  • Food retailers
  • Real estate
  •  Rental
  • Restaurants
  • Gas stations and auto repair
  • Business services
  • Education
  • Accommodation
  • Leisure
  • Manufacture
  • Personal services
  • Personal care retailers
  • Professional, scientific and technical services
  • Other
Odds are, if you can think of it, there is a franchise that exists.
