From Employee to Entrepreneur: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Take Charge of Your Career

For years, you’ve put in the hours, perfected your coaching and operations skills, and helped grow someone else’s business. You know the ins and outs of running sessions, managing teams, and keeping parents happy. But have you ever wondered—what if all that hard work could be building your business instead of someone else’s?

If you're a senior coach or operations manager in the children's activities industry, now might be the perfect time to step off the sidelines and take charge of your career.

Here’s why:

1. Employees Have Limits—Business Owners Have Freedom

As an employee, your earnings are capped, your schedule is set by someone else, and your ideas often have to go through layers of approval. When you own a franchise, you set the pace. You make the decisions. You have the flexibility to build your business in a way that works for you, your lifestyle, and your ambitions.

2. Financial Rewards Beyond a Salary

A paycheque is predictable—but also limited. As a franchise owner, your income is directly tied to your efforts. You’re not waiting for an annual raise; you’re growing your business and reaping the financial rewards along the way. Many franchisees quickly find they can earn significantly more than they ever did in a salaried role, all while building an asset they own.

3. A Proven Business Model (With Support)

Going out on your own can feel overwhelming, but with a franchise, you’re not starting from scratch. You get the best of both worlds—business ownership with a tried-and-tested model, comprehensive training, and ongoing support. It’s your business, but you’re never alone in running it.

4. Real-Life Success: From Coach to Business Owner

Take Ben—a former coaching operations manager who knew football inside out but was stuck in a role with no real room to grow. Within a year of launching their WeeKicks franchise, they went from managing someone else’s team to running their own thriving business, with a flexible schedule and a bigger income to match.

Is It Time to Make Your Move and take carge of your career?

If you’re ready to break free from the limitations of employment and step into a role where your expertise and effort pay off, franchising could be your next big move. Owning a WeeKicks franchise means turning your passion into profit—while still doing what you love.
