Airline Pilot Navigates through the Turbulence with ATM Franchise Business

Dec. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Dallas, TX – Michael left with a number of options when he decided to take a leave of absence from his career as an airline pilot. The decision came after he saw many of his co-workers being let go and realized that an absence came with the option of returning at a later date.

The airline industry has taken hard hits in 2009 with Delta Airlines shedding l2100 jobs, Continental laying off 1700 and United Air Lines an additional 1050 workers.

Michael knows that the skills he’s acquired here and during his time as a pilot in the US Air Force will also be keys to his success and reinventing himself.

The business he chose is the American Consumer Finance Network ATM franchise, which Inc Magazine named as "one of the Fastest Growing Private Companies in 2008" and Entrepreneur Magazine has listed in the “Top 50 Franchises in 2008"

Michael researched many businesses before deciding on ACFN. He liked the fact that they provided an intensive training program and support and that he could grow and scale the business overtime, as he saw fit.

Michael L is experienced in taking challenges head on. He comments, “The people that are the most organized and determined will be the most successful in any entrepreneurial endeavor, my years in the Air Force and with the airline definitely taught me those skills.”

“ACFN is known for its commitment to equipping franchisees with all the tools necessary to build a profitable business, providing business and technical training to their franchisees via an intensive 3 day course at company headquarters in San Jose, California which I attended” says Michael

Jeff Kerr  agrees with him, mentioning, “Our business model is highly versatile. Those with the tenacity to build a larger business can, and those who choose to run a smaller business also have that option.”

Michael says, “I did my homework and took a leap of faith, and success is going to continue to happen for me.”
