This isnโt just about you buying a business โ itโs about building your future.
What most people donโt realize?
Becoming an ActionCOACH franchise partner means making five powerful decisions โ the kind that change your life, your income, and your impact on the world.
These arenโt snap decisions. Theyโre shifts in your mindset. Milestones in your personal and professional evolution.
Scroll down to see what they are and where you are in the journey.
The Hidden Truth: Itโs Not One Decision โ Itโs Five
When you join ActionCOACH, youโre not just buying a franchise. Theyโre stepping into a business ownership journey that requires clarity, confidence, and commitment. Youโre not buying a logo. Youโre buying into a life-changing framework, a partnership.
Youโre saying โyesโ to:
1. Owning your own business
2. Being your own boss
3. Leveraging a franchise model
4. Becoming a business coach
5. Partnering with the #1 coaching brand in the world
We call them the 5 Decisions โ and every successful franchise owner makes them in that order. Which ones have you made already?

Decision #1: Saying Yes to Owning Your Own Business
This is where it all begins. You’re done building someone elseโs dream. You’re ready to build your own.
Whether you’re an executive looking for more freedom, a leader tired of corporate ceilings, or someone who just wants more control of their time and income โ this is your first and most important decision.
This is about:
- Creating your financial independence
- Designing a lifestyle on your terms
- Turning your business knowledge and passion into business profits
โI always wanted to own a business, but never knew where to start. ActionCOACH gave me the direction I needed.โ โ Tony M., Franchise Partner, Former Executive
Imagine:
- No boss. No limits.
- Your calendar reflects your priorities.
- You build something that creates wealth and legacy.
This decision of yours unlocks all the others.
Decision #2: Believing in Yourself as the Product
This is about your confidence.
You donโt need to invent a product. You already have one โ you. Your experience. Your ability to lead. Your insight and ability to solve problems. The second decision is to believe that you can deliver value to others through your own knowledge and leadership that is worth tens of thousands.
At ActionCOACH, we provide:
- Plug and play frameworks to help you and your clients get results
- Comprehensive training to become a certified business coach
- A community of support and mentorship that gets you moving in 30, 60 or 90 days
You bring:
- Your business or leadership knowledge and experience
- Your passion for helping others
- Your drive to learn, grow, and lead

Decision #3: Choosing Franchising Over Starting From Scratch
Starting your own business from zero is exciting… but also incredibly risky. Franchising gives you a shortcut through the most dangerous phase: the unknown startup. When you buy a franchise, you’re buying the blueprint, the playbook, and the support system. You’re skipping years of trial and error.
With ActionCOACH, you get:
- A 30+ year proven business model
- Proprietary coaching and business growth systems
- Ongoing training and certification
- Marketing, sales, and lead gen support
- A global network of coaches and partners to lean on
Franchise Facts:
- Franchises have a 90%+ success rate over 5 years
- Startups have a failure rate of over 50% in the first 3 years
- Franchisees are 2x more likely to scale into multi-unit ownership
Decision #4: Entering the Business Coaching Industry
This is where your purpose meets profit.
Business owners are overwhelmed. They need clarity, accountability, strategy, and support. Thatโs where your coaching comes in.
The business coaching industry is valued at over $21 billion โ and growing fast. Training more than $437 billion. Demand for coaching and training has surged in recent years, especially post-pandemic as companies focus on stability, systems, and scalability.
What you offer as a coach:
- 1-on-1 coaching for business owners
- Group coaching sessions and mastermind programs
- Workshops, planning days, and training programs
- Accountability that drives real business growth
What you gain:
- Recurring income and high margins from long-term clients
- The satisfaction of seeing lives and businesses transform
- A flexible schedule and scalable model

You donโt need to have all five decisions made yet. You just need the courage to explore whatโs possible.
Ask yourself:
- Am I ready to own my own business?
- Do I want to build something with impact and income?
- Am I willing to be coached and supported as I grow?
If you answered โyesโ to even one of thoseโฆ letโs talk.
