Part Two. 

James Hilovsky dives into the real game of franchising—where passion fuels success, but unchecked ego can lead to fumbles. He breaks down how even non-athletes can thrive in franchising by overcoming fear, finding the right fit, and partnering with a franchisor that has their back. Whether you’re a former athlete or just someone tired of the corporate grind, this episode will show you how to step up to the plate and own your future.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

When Ego Enters the Game

“For highly successful athletes, ego can become a stumbling block. In their circle, they’re often surrounded by ‘yes’ people—but in franchising, the system is the boss.”

Coachable or Combative?

“Not every athlete thrives in a franchise model. If they’re resistant to coaching or feel they don’t need the franchise system, they might be better suited for entrepreneurship.”

From Control to Chaos

“Athletes transition from highly controlled environments to the unpredictable world of business. Education and mindset shifts are crucial to navigate these new challenges.”

The Athlete’s Advantage: Resilience

“Athletes are no strangers to failure. In baseball, hitting .300 is a win—despite failing seven out of ten times. That resilience becomes a powerful tool in business.”

The Franchisor as a Partner

“Your franchisor should be more than a brand—they’re your business partner. Look for one that offers strong support and aligns with your vision for success.”
