When Adam Loomis&#8217; grandmother neared the end of her life, his family made the difficult decision to move her into an assisted living home. She had lived in her home for more than 50 years, but his family simply didn&#8217;t have the resources needed to hire a caretaker. Loomis, who spent five years enlisted in the Army, saw firsthand how his grandmother&#8217;s move out of her longtime home and into an assisted living facility wore down her spirit. That experience got Loomis and his wife, Shana, thinking about their own careers&#8212;they both wanted to find a way to make life better for others in situations like his late grandmother by providing the comfort of in-home care. That&#8217;s when their research led them to <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=veterans-winning-at-franchising-adam-loomis-5053" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home*</a>. &#8220;After spending more than five years in the Army, I needed to find a job where I could continue doing good for people&#8212;I wanted to give back to my country and its citizens. <a href="http://rightathome.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=veterans-winning-at-franchising-adam-loomis-5053" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a> answered that&#8212;it was everything I needed,&#8221; Loomis said. Now, Loomis and his wife own a Right at Home location in Southeast Washington, and to this day, he credits his experience in the Army for making his business as successful as it is today. How did your military experience prepare you for franchising? The military is very good at not only teamwork, but being able to work, make decisions and solve problems on your own. In franchising, you&#8217;re part of a team, but it&#8217;s still up to the individual to be successful at their own location. At Right at Home, you&#8217;re part of this bigger, worldwide company, but you have individual franchises that help make it successful. And because the military taught me leadership, organization and resourcefulness, all of those things come into play when getting a business up and running successfully. What is it about Right at Home that attracted you to franchising? It was Right at Home&#8217;s sincerity. It didn&#8217;t hurt that the company had a strong foundation either. From the CEO to its franchisees, the backbone of Right at Home is solid and well organized. What advice would you give to veterans who are looking to get into franchising? There are tons of industries and businesses out there that can be successful. You have to ask yourself if you want to be successful or if you want to do something meaningful. Start with meaningful. Find something that you can say you&#8217;re proud of at the end of the day. Success can come later. If you&#8217;re doing something you&#8217;re passionate about and you believe is a good thing, you can&#8217;t be anything but successful. What does franchising mean to you? The difference between franchising and not franchising is the difference between having the support team and not having the support team&#8212;of having resources and not having resources; having a team and not having a team. What you&#8217;re getting with a franchise is experience and name recognition rather than having to build that on your own from scratch. What would you like to achieve in the next five years? We want to continue growing with Right at Home, built the business up and just do the very best we can to be successful. I always tell everybody that it&#8217;s always up to you to achieve your goals&#8212;nobody will stop you except from yourself.
