There Is No Plan B

Tarji Carter knew she was leaving corporate. She just didn't know when.

So she started preparing. Two years before she actually left, she was collecting personal phone numbers and email addresses, saving aggressively every pay period, getting her medical appointments done, and quietly building the vision for what would become The Franchise Player — because she knew that when the moment came, she didn't want to leave out of desperation. She wanted to leave on her own terms.

In this episode Tarji and I talk about what intentional exit planning actually looks like, what it cost her to build something that the franchise industry had never prioritized, and why she has no plan B.

We cover:

• How she went from knowing nothing about franchising to being promoted to Director of Franchise Sales within eight months
• The slow build that led her to leave corporate — and the week in Barcelona that started it all
• How she prepared financially for her pause two years in advance
• The loneliness of building something nobody around you understands
• What franchising actually is — and why it might be the wealth-building tool you never knew was available to you
• What she wishes she had known before she made the leap
