In these circumstances, franchise candidates should consider working at their own PACE.

With this beneficial program, new franchisees will be able to keep their current jobs and effectively shift toward the freedom and flexibility a Lawn Doctor Franchise provides.

Mark Wolinski, owner of Lawn Doctor of Saginaw-Birch Run-Frankenmuth and Midland-Bay City, Mich., started on a part-time basis in 2000 and is now in his sixth year as a Lawn Doctor Franchisee. Previously employed as part of a management team at General Motors (GM), Wolinski searched for a franchise opportunity he could be genuinely interested in, but was apprehensive about leaving the security of his job. Now, Wolinski said, "It was the best decision I could have made, and I would have never gotten ahead financially if I hadn't had a steady job transitioning to become a franchisee."
