Part 8/10:
I advocate for opportunities that provide real value creation potential through equity ownership and scalable paths to independence. The goal is to eventually step away from daily operations, build wealth, and diversify investments. Unfortunately, Chick-fil-A’s model doesn’t align with that philosophy.
I encourage entrepreneurs to pursue franchise systems that:
Offer opportunities for multiple units
Provide clear paths for scaling
Allow ownership of the business assets
Enable investment in other ventures
Final Thoughts and Next Steps
While I hold Chick-fil-A in high regard and respect their strict selection process—more exclusive than Harvard—I believe that their model is better suited for those who value operational involvement over wealth-building through equity.
