The corporate career path can be exciting, well-paid and highly prestigious. On the flip side, Corporate America can also feel like a creativity-destroying, soul-deadening maze of politics and bureaucracy. While some thrive in the rat race, others feel trapped. If you’re sick of trying to conform to the corporate dress code, the corporate mindset and the corporate “culture,” you’re not alone.

So why haven’t you made a break for it? Wiggling free from the golden handcuffs of a “good job” that’s making you miserable isn’t easy. The idea of walking away from a steady paycheck and health benefits can be terrifying–especially if you’re not 100% sure what you really want to do with your life. That’s how millions get stuck in lives of quiet corporate desperation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t have to choose between cubicle slavery and abject poverty.

Today there are plenty of job options beyond the corporate ladder. And there are plenty of ways–both practical and radical–to make the leap from a life of daily distress to a career that inspires you. One amazing option that will allow you financial freedom and personal growth is through franchising. Franchising can open the doors to greater autonomy while also providing you a steady platform towards building greater business networks and diversifying your own portfolio of skill sets and achievements.
