What If A Franchise Was Run Like a Typical Home Based Business and Residual Income?Written by Nick A. James
Have you ever wondered how a Franchise would do if run like a typical home business? This might give you some idea.There is something that is long as I live I will never understand. Well I suppose actually there are several things, however right now this is business focused. That something is residual income. I just can’t for life of me understand how someone can go through life and just continue to work at a job with no plan for residual income. I suppose many people just can’t comprehend that they can have money coming into them while they aren’t working. There are a number of ways to get residual income like writing a book, or a song. However, these are tough occupations to succeed at. One of very best ways to have residual income is good home business in Network Marketing. Network marketing has been criticized, poked fun of, ridiculed and worse. But it’s here to stay and it’s popularity is growing. Often called poor man’s franchise, with right company, product and timing a person can actually do much better than a franchise without expense and headaches that so often accompany a franchise. Think about this, what would you say is best most successful stable franchise today? Several come to mind but no one can argue that McDonalds wouldn’t be at or near top of most lists. So what kind of point am I making here. Simply this, many people argue that home businesses, especially in area of network marketing don’t work. Well gee whiz if a McDonalds was run same way majority of people work their home business McDonalds would all go out of business. Here is how typical McDonalds would be run if run by typical unsuccessful home businessperson. When it’s open – I stress word open, (more on this) it would probably be open less than 1 hour a day. The workers would be sitting around pretending to be working, but accomplishing very little. And then suddenly at a whim store would abruptly close, perhaps to open again in a few days or even a few weeks. No schedule or hours of operation would be posted when store was going to be open. After reopening after an absence workers would just be getting back in groove of working again when a half hour later store would close because no customers were coming in. It seemed not knowing when store would be open was keeping them away – imagine that. Well after a month or so of no customers store is closed with owner muttering under his breath. “These franchise things just don’t work!” Then he starts telling all his friends, “I tried one of those franchise things once. They just don’t work!”
