No More Commuting: How a Unishippers Franchise Gave Me the Work-Life Balance I Craved

My husband and I both get to work from home and luckily, we get along, and he is my best friend. In the past, having that corporate experience and a territory that was an hour away every day, I really got used to not being at home when I should have been having dinner with my husband and kids. Also, I like to work out in the morning, so I have a set routine and nobody's telling me I have to be at work at this certain time and end at a certain time. It gives me a chance to be present with my family and also take care of myself. I can work at my own pace, and I know what I have to do to get my goals completed.

Passion, Flexibility and Family: Why I Love My Unishippers Franchise

I'm passionate about my Unishippers business and look forward to getting up every morning. I think it's good for my family and kids to see my strong work ethic and excitement for what I do. I want to instill that in them. The franchise gives me flexibility to go to their school events and work after they go to bed. I love having the ability to make those decisions and do what's best for my family.

Perfect Balance: Making a Great Living Without Sacrificing Family Time

The work-life balance is what attracted me to sales and ultimately logistics franchise ownership. Most industries we serve operate 9-to-5, Monday through Friday — which means you can make a good living and still be around for family on the weekend. Plus, with virtually no business travel, it's an ideal scenario for me.

Creating My Own Schedule: The Rewarding Flexibility of Unishippers Franchise Ownership

Owning a franchise has definitely given me flexibility. I work hard, but I don't consider it punching a clock. I do it because I enjoy it, and I've reaped the rewards from it. If I need to take time off to visit family or friends, then I can do that. That's been very rewarding as well because being able to create your own schedule and operate on your own terms has been very fulfilling.

Building Family Memories: How Unishippers Gave Me the Flexibility to Be There for Every Moment

When my kids were younger, we had a pretty sizable franchise. And it gave me the flexibility to be a father — a new father. I'd spend half a day at the office and then be able to pick up my daughter from preschool every single day and spend time with her. I'd take her to the park and play hopscotch or have princess parties. Unishippers gives you that balance.
