Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete Gilfillan

Pete Gilfillan explores how leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship can lead to a more fulfilling, purpose-driven existence. Drawing from personal experience, Pete outlines the freedom, growth, and impact that come with becoming a franchise business owner—especially for frustrated executives seeking more from their careers and lives.

In this episode, Pete discusses:

• Autonomy and Control
   As an entrepreneur, you make the key decisions—where you live, who you hire, and how you spend your time. Pete explains how this freedom creates greater satisfaction and a more meaningful life.
• Work-Life Flexibility
   Franchise ownership doesn’t mean you work less—but it does mean you work on your terms. Pete shares how entrepreneurship allowed him to attend his daughter’s soccer games and still meet business demands.
• Purpose and Impact
   Running your own business lets you support your community, create jobs, and align your work with your values. Pete highlights how owning a business can leave a legacy and make a real difference.
• Personal and Financial Growth
   Entrepreneurship fuels continuous learning and uncapped financial potential. Pete discusses his own investment in personal development and how hard work in business yields direct rewards.

Key Takeaways:

• You Control the Culture
   As a business owner, you shape the workplace culture and can align your business with your personal values.
• You’re Never Capped
   Entrepreneurship removes salary ceilings—your income is a reflection of your effort and innovation.
• You Build a Legacy
   Whether passing it down or selling for profit, a business allows you to leave something meaningful behind.

"Entrepreneurship isn’t just a career move—it’s a lifestyle shift that gives you control, fulfillment, and the chance to live life on your own terms." — Pete Gilfillan
