Protect Your Wealth Through Business Ownership

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete Gilfillan

Can you build wealth and shield yourself from economic downturns at the same time? Pete Gilfillan says yes—and it starts with becoming an entrepreneur. In this episode, Pete shares how franchise ownership can give you control, flexibility, and long-term value in an unpredictable economy.

In this episode, Pete discusses:

  • Creating Multiple Income Streams
    Entrepreneurship gives you the ability to diversify your revenue across different ventures. Instead of relying solely on a corporate paycheck, business ownership helps you build financial resilience by developing multiple income channels.
  • Using Franchises to Lower Risk
    Franchises come with built-in systems, processes, and support teams. These proven business models reduce the uncertainty of starting from scratch and provide a solid foundation, especially during times of economic instability.
  • Taking Control of Your Financial Future
    When you own a business, you decide how much you earn and how you grow. You're no longer at the mercy of corporate restructuring or market fluctuations—you chart your own course and build the future on your terms.
  • Why Entrepreneurs Thrive in Downturns
    Challenging markets often reward those who can adapt. Entrepreneurs are naturally positioned to spot emerging needs, pivot quickly, and offer innovative solutions, turning tough times into growth opportunities.


Key Takeaways:

  • You don’t need to quit your job to get started.
    Semi-absentee franchise models let you build a business while keeping your day job.
  • Business ownership gives you flexibility and security.
    Entrepreneurship puts you in control of your time, income, and future.
  • Franchise ownership lowers your risk.
    You’re not starting from scratch—you’re leveraging a system that works.
  • The best way to protect your future is to own it.
    True financial security comes from betting on yourself.


“We all want to protect our future. Entrepreneurship gives you the power to do exactly that.” — Pete Gilfillan
