🎧 From Franchisee to Franchisor: Amrit Dhaliwal’s Home Care Revolution

0 comments

Amrit Dhaliwal bought into the franchise dream—turnkey business, proven system, guaranteed support. She got none of that. Her first franchise left her struggling with “entrepreneurial poverty”: owning a business but barely surviving.

So she built Walfinch differently. Her home care franchise rejects half its applicants, provides real coaching, and goes fully digital in a paper-obsessed industry. The mission? Help franchisees actually thrive, not just survive.

Waldfinch’s “Time to Thrive” philosophy extends to clients as well. Through Thrive Clubs’ yoga and art classes, they’re redefining aging as an opportunity, not a decline.

Dhaliwal’s advice for entrepreneurs: Make purpose your filter for every decision. Growth without alignment isn’t success—it’s just noise.
