A successful business starts with an idea. When that idea begins to grow quickly, one option an owner has is to convert his or her idea into a franchise. If you are about to embark on this journey, remember success doesn’t just happen overnight; it takes time, money, and perseverance.

Today, there are close to 3,000 franchise companies in the United States. Founders of some of the most successful franchises in history have all walked in your shoes. Successful franchisors have grown some of the world’s most recognizable brands and have learned lessons along the way. We compiled a list of ten lessons learned from famous franchisors to inspire and motivate business growth.

“If you work just for money, you’ll never make it, but if you love what you’re doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.” – Ray Kroc, Founder, McDonald’s

“It really helps if you are doing something you love instead of something you are just spending a bunch of money on. You can become very discouraged if you’re not involved in something genuine, something that you believe in, and are committed to.” – Jerry Baldwin, Co-Founder, Starbucks

“Life will test you, that’s a promise. It’s what you do with the challenges that determines your failure or your success. “ – William Rosenberg, Founder, Dunkin’ Donuts [Tweet This]

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” – Steve Jobs, Co-founder, Apple, Inc.

“You have to live in reality, not in what might happen, but what is happening.” – Jimmy John Liautaud, Founder, Jimmy John’s

“One thing that makes people magnificent is their ability to dream. What your body can or can’t do really doesn’t matter to how the mind works. Your imagination can take you anywhere, help you imagine the best of all futures – and show you what seemed impossible – an absolute reality.” – Glen Bell, Founder, Taco Bell

“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” – Conrad Hilton, Founder, Hilton Hotels [Tweet This]

“For me, the most fun is change or growth. There are definitely elements of both that I like. Launching a business is kind of like a motorboat: You can go very quickly and turn fast.” – Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos

“Business isn’t a science. It’s not like mixing this chemical with that chemical to get a predictable outcome. You can make a plan and set a goal and even be reasonably sure that you’ll reach that goal, but until you do, you won’t know if you will.” – Fred DeLuca, Founder and CEO, Subway

“There’s lots of bad reasons to start a company. But there’s only one good, legitimate reason, and I think you know what it is: it’s to change the world.” – Phil Libin, CEO, Evernote
