What do you like about this subject? Franchising can be a great way to start your own business, if the right one is chosen.I am energized by helping folks move away from Corporate America...

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: You do NOT have to make a large investment to be successful. Most people looking for a franchise start by looking into the food area. You could do well, but be prepared to work 7 days a week, and 15+ hours daily.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Do NOT get into business based on your hobbies!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I expect to always be learning. I would like my website to be recognized on a national basis, for the impact it has made on our economy, by helping more and more folks get into their own business, and regain control of their lives.
