I joined Cherry Chan on her recent podcast to cover all things franchise. We discussed how there are hundreds of franchises that do not sell burgers and pizza - think home services, senior care and B2B commercial business.

Most people associate franchises with fast food, but there are actually hundreds of franchise opportunities across industries like home services, senior care, commercial cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, and more. David Patterson explains that investing in a franchise can provide a proven business model, built-in systems, training, marketing support, and ongoing coaching, helping reduce many of the risks of starting from scratch.

In this conversation with Cherry Chan, we discuss:
✅ What franchising really is
✅ Why many franchise owners succeed where independent businesses struggle
✅ Startup costs, financing options, and ROI expectations
✅ How some franchise owners scale to multi-million-dollar businesses
✅ Building a business that can eventually become a sellable asset

If I could go back 12 years and do one thing differently, I would have bet on myself sooner.

At the time, I started a rent-to-own real estate business. It generated good income, helped people become homeowners, and taught me the power of leverage.

But I always treated it as a side business.

Every couple of years, I would tell myself, “I’ll leave corporate soon.” Then I would move the goalposts and wait for a better time.

Looking back, I realize franchising offers many of the advantages I valued in real estate. You can use financing, build equity, and create long-term wealth—but you also benefit from proven systems, established marketing, training, coaching, and experienced people helping you avoid costly mistakes.

The truth is, capital wasn’t holding me back.

Confidence was.

The right coaching and mentorship might have given me the conviction to go all in much earlier instead of spending years waiting for the perfect moment.

This time, I made the bet.

Over the past two years, I’ve sold five investment properties and reinvested in my franchise consulting business. The freedom, flexibility, and opportunity to help others achieve their business ownership goals have made it worthwhile.

Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t making the wrong decision.

It’s spending years waiting to make one at all.

What decision have you been postponing?

I'm hoping for rain this weekend in Toronto. 🌧️

Why spend the day hiking or relaxing on the patio when you could spend it exploring your future at the National Franchise Show?

Kidding, of course—I hope for beautiful weather AND the opportunity to meet plenty of motivated entrepreneurs.

If you’re curious about business ownership or considering a change, come join us at the Toronto Franchise Show on September 19 & 20 at the International Centre!

Are you building a business—or simply creating a job for yourself?

Most people build a business with one immediate goal: generating income.

Smart business owners also think about what the business could be worth when they are ready to sell.

If you want to create a valuable, sellable business, make decisions today that a future buyer will appreciate:

✅ Secure enough territory to support future growth
✅ Develop recurring revenue
✅ Build a strong management team
✅ Create systems that do not depend entirely on you

Most owners focus on profit.

Buyers focus on risk.

A business becomes more attractive when it has room to expand, predictable revenue, proven systems, and a capable team that can operate without the owner managing every decision.

Here is a simple test:

If you stepped away for 30 days, would the business continue to operate—and grow?

If not, you may have built yourself a job.

If yes, you are building an asset.

Are you building your business for today—or for what it could be worth tomorrow?

☁️ From Cloudy Days to Clear Skies

Last weeks cloudy cottage day turned into season ending dock-repair duty—and a reminder that building a business isn’t always sunshine and lounging by the lake.

The early phase can be long and tiring… the ramp up could take 12+ months.

But there is a key difference with franchising is SPEED. 🚀

Franchisors hand you a proven blueprint so you can grow faster and avoid rookie mistakes:

✅ Training that cuts out trial and error
✅ Marketing systems that launch your business quickly
✅ Support with hiring so you can build a strong team from day one

Some brands even have you earning revenue in as little as 60 days.
Yes, there’s hard work up front—but the payoff is freedom, flexibility, and a lot more sunny days ahead. 🌞

When the skies clear… where do YOU want to be?

It was a great day for a mid-day bike ride.

I am grateful for the flexibility my new consulting business affords me, allowing me to balance work and health as I see fit.

In my previous corporate role, particularly as a leader, I adhered to a standard 8-to-5 schedule, mainly for optics, which meant exercising early in the morning, typically at 6:30.

Now, I often find myself working productively in the early morning hours and exercising during the middle of the day, such as taking a 2-hour bike ride on a warm sunny day. It was a fabulous day in early October.

A long post to highlight that when considering your next career or business venture, be sure to prioritize life-work flexibility as an important component.
