Nick Lopez and Pete Gilfillan, the bestselling author of the book Hire Yourself, unpack what the corporate grind looked like while Pete navigated through his career with some of the world’s most successful companies. Pete talks about what it was like to be an important part of Fortune 500 companies such as Ford Motor Company, where he bled blue. But ultimately, the travel and restrictions on his life didn’t provide him the independence and happiness he knew he could have through entrepreneurship. Pete recalls sitting in on hours of senseless meetings and having no control over that reality. Time and time again, subjective objectives were defined as the goals to hit, not to mention the corporate politics. Ultimately, franchise ownership was calling Pete away from the corporate rat race. Pete went on to own a multi-state master license with Junk-King Franchise Systems, Inc., and he hasn’t turned back. Today, Pete is living life on his terms and also doing it by helping others experience the same kind of entrepreneurial freedom through franchise consulting with the world’s top franchise consulting firm in FranChoice.
