Get Most Out Of Experience

Dear Potential Franchisee,

What you are about to experience will be one of the most rewarding things of your life, at least it has been for me. Running a franchise for the past four years has made me grow on a personal and professional level. I am not going to lie, it will be hard at some points but if you take each mistake and each success as a learning experience then you will get the most out of this job.

Running a franchise has taught me how to run a successful business, increase my marketing and sales skills and learn how to target a certain audience. I have also learned how to manage a crew of employees while creating schedules, meeting dead lines and dealing with clients (happy and mad). I have improved my time management and organizational skills and have learned how to handle stressful situations. The knowledge I have learned from running a business has opened my eyes to a whole new side of what I can do if I put my mind to it.

Although I have learned these skills, that was not the most important part of running a Student Works business for me. For the past four years I have been surrounded by the support of amazing mentors and driven students who I will have lifelong friendships with and who I look up to. Meeting people who are experiencing the same thing as you will make your Student Works journey a much better one. My advice is to go to as many payroll events as you can because I promise that any doubt or problem you have, someone else is experiencing it too.

The last thing I will say and the most important is to keep a good work life balance. This job will get stressful an may take over your life, so try and take a day to yourself occasionally. Stay positive, work hard and have fun. AND MAKE MEXICO! 😊
