À propos de cet audio

 Here's the sobering truth: Most of us will experience at least one involuntary job loss in our careers. Some of us, like Chris Wilson, will experience it multiple times.Chris got laid off THREE TIMES from leading, profitable IT companies. Not for performance issues. Not because he wasn't delivering.But because "someone in a corner office decided to hit a quarterly earnings target by cutting staff."After the third layoff, Chris made a decision: Never again.Today, he runs Legacy Franchise Ventures, owns multiple franchises (including salon suites), and helps professionals escape corporate uncertainty by building income streams nobody can eliminate with a spreadsheet.In this conversation, we break down:✅ Why your salary isn't actually yours ("It's their salary. They let you borrow it. Then when your name comes up, it's gone.")✅ The reality of surviving layoffs: You inherit the work of everyone who didn't. More responsibility. Same paycheck.✅ Why corporate America operates on 3-6 month layoff cycles in some industries✅ The "2 PM email" anxiety: "Go back to your desk, work as hard as you can, and HR will contact everyone affected by 2 PM"✅ How Chris started his first franchise: Club Pilates (even though he knew NOTHING about Pilates)✅ Why the product/service doesn't matter as much as you think: "Your job as a business owner is not to be a consumer of the good"✅ The difference between passion and profit: "I understand you have passion for things, but it's very rare that your passion is what makes you money"✅ What a franchise consultant actually does (and why you need one if you're serious about franchising)✅ The discovery → validation → decision framework for choosing the right franchise✅ Why education is critical—but doesn't mean you have to work for someone else forever✅ The "sandwich generation" challenge: Supporting aging parents + kids + yourself simultaneously✅ Why Legacy Franchise Ventures focuses on legacy builders, not just income seekers✅ COVID as a turning point: How it accelerated Chris's exit from corporate✅ His vision for 10 years: 10 salon suite locations, semi-retired, traveling the world✅ Advice to his 30-year-old self: "Do it harder and faster. Take more calculated risks."✅ Why being "comfortable" at six figures is one of the most dangerous financial positions✅ The Biggie wisdom: "More money, more problems—but I've never seen problems solved with less money"✅ His message to anyone facing a layoff: "Congratulations. That may be the blessing you needed."🎯 KEY INSIGHT:"That salary, your salary is not your salary. It's their salary. And they let you borrow it for a period of time. And then when your name comes up, you realize that's not your salary. It's gone."This episode is for you if:→ You're facing a layoff (or the constant threat of one)→ You're tired of living with corporate uncertainty→ You want to build income streams you actually control→ You're curious about franchising but don't know where to start→ You're in the "sandwich generation" (supporting parents + kids)→ You're making six figures and comfortable, but unfulfilled→ You want to build legacy wealth, not just a paycheck🎁 FREE RESOURCE:Ready to 10x your Impact, Influence, and Income over the next 3 years?
