There are hundreds of different businesses you can consider starting, and each has its own set of pros and cons. The biggest roadblock to starting or buying a business is that they require a considerable up-front cash investment. In addition to the large investment, the time commitment you must make when starting a business can ultimately turn out to be be far greater than what you have experienced in any job, and the return is not necessarily worth the extra time or the financial risk.

Let's take a look at some of your options for starting your own business:

Option - Buying a Franchise: You could buy a franchise such as McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Subway, or Dominos Pizza, but you may find they have many BARRIERS TO ENTRY. You will need to make a large upfront cash investment (average start-up cost between supplies, location, etc - can fall between $400,000 to $1 million), and in the end, what you are really buying yourself is 90-hour-a-week job. You are going to be stuck in one location all the time, and you will have to be there everyday to oversee the operation. You are not going to increase your time freedom.

With a franchise, you are also going to be required to pay royalty fees for the life of your business. These fees are in addition to all of your operating expenses, and in many cases, they can prevent you from being profitable.

The following shows a few examples of franchises taken from Entrepreneur.com. Be sure to note the "net worth" and "cash liquidity" requirements which would prevent the majority of people from even considering this option:

Gymboree - Children's clothing retailer and play center
Total investment: $141.4K - 286.8K Franchise fee: $45K Ongoing royalty fee: 6% Term of agreement: 10 years, renewable	Net worth requirement: $250K Cash liquidity requirement: $70K where seeking Franchisees: Nationwide
Shakey's Pizza Restaurant - Family pizza restaurant
Total investment: $396.5K - 1.6M Franchise fee: $25K Ongoing royalty fee: 4.5%	Net worth requirement: $750K Cash liquidity requirement: $150K Where Seeking Franchises: Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin
Deck The Walls - Art, custom framing and wall decor
Total investment: $180.9K - 245.2K Franchise fee: $30K Ongoing royalty fee: 6% Term of agreement: 10 years, renewable	Net worth requirement: $250K Cash liquidity requirement: $75K Where Seeking Franchises: Nationwide

Option - Traditional Brick & Mortar Business: In almost every case, if you buy yourself a traditional business, you are doing nothing more than buying yourself a job... only with more headaches. You assume all responsibility, and you must be there all the time to make sure that everything is running properly. There are numerous costs associated with operating a traditional business including inventory, rent, and of course, personnel. Administrative tasks take up a tremendous amount of time. The success of your business can be highly dependent on the state of economy, and you are also bound to one location. Long hours trapped in one location do not give you the freedom to spend more time with your family and friends or be able to take vacations, travel, and live a life of comfort and privilege. Costs are also a barrier to entry. Here are few examples of business that you can purchase - please note the limitations:

Do you believe you are led to the next step in your life? Are you willing to follow this one? I've noticed coincidences and serendipitous events in my life. And when I've followed them, I have grown and found success. I found this business to be that type of an event for me. Perhaps it is that for you too.

If you want to enjoy a lifestyle where you have an abundant income and the time to actually enjoy it, I will show you EXACTLY what people in this company are doing to achieve that from the comfort of home in less than 24 hours per week!!

How do I know if I am Qualified to do this business?
ONLY the ones that want to realistically change their financial status immediately should call. For the others, there are so many other things you can do here on the Internet to make extra pocket cash on the side. I am looking for ONLY the person that has the desire to make money. If you do not have the desire then this IS NOT for you.

Is this MLM?
No it is not, MLM is such a great concept but they have no real structure and it is always much harder and takes a lot longer then they say it is. I need instant gratification versus building something that could be in 1-3 years.

Do I have to talk to people with this business?
Yes, unless you are going to do manual labor then the only way to make money is to move products and services or be responsible for the movement in some way. But I can tell you this, you won't have to do any explaining of any product or service.

Are there any other costs in running this business?
Yes, Anyone who tells you that it doesn't take money to build a business is lying to you. This is a business that generates a substantial income, most businesses show only a small percentage as profit and the rest is business expenses. The difference here is this business because of its immediate high cash flow will pay for all of your expenses and still have a huge net profit left over.

On a scale of 1 to 10, what is the difficulty level of running this business?
With 10 being the most difficult and 1 being the simplest, out of all the businesses I have ever run or owned, I would say for most everyone, it will be a 1. The business is simple because there is a system in place that you can follow in order to achieve success. However, that does not mean that it is a free ride - everything in life that is worthwhile takes a serious effort.

Is training and support provided?
Absolutely. Your success will be achieved with personal mentoring by myself and other entrepreneurs who have already achieved financial success while working from home.

How much time does this business require?
Leverage your time, choose your own hours, and take holidays whenever you wish. Work from home in your boxer-shorts, from the beach in Cancun, or while you're taking a 3-month vacation in Hawaii. I recommend that you have a few hours a day available.

How difficult is this business?
The marketing system does most of the grunt-work for you! There is NO personal explaining involved. We have ELIMINATED most of the things that people struggle with in their own business.

• No cold calling.
• No "recruiting" friends and family.
• No stress! RELAX and take a nap this afternoon!

What is a realistic first year income?
Realistic? I don't believe in realistic. Realistic people DO NOT become millionaires. I would much rather achieve UNREALISTIC results. Your first year potential is massive given you do EXACTLY what I say and follow the system. Why would you want to get started in a business if you couldn’t make a ton of money right out of the gate?

How do I know if this is "too good to be true"?
In my opinion "too good to be true" would be if I was to tell you that everyone you talked to would be stuffing money through their phones! This is a real, legitimate, Internet marketing system. The system works perfectly as long as you follow it exactly You will see for yourself EXACTLY how it works. Trust me, there is work involved. What really matters the most is YOUR level of desire.

All of this WITHOUT:
Franchise fees of $100,000 to $500,000 that don't even come with a guaranteed income. Waiting four-years until your business clears a profit. You can be making money in days; It's up to you and your efforts. Overhead, hassle, of hiring staff or an expensive office. Working 60-80 hours a week or being a slave to your business. Working 10-15 hours part-time or 20-30 hours full-time is all it takes. No explaining. This IS NOT a sales job! Our system does all of the grunt work for you!

But remember:

• We only work with the most highly motivated and positive people. You need to have huge dreams and huge income goals.
  
  
• You have to have the hunger to generate substantial income in the next 6 to 9 months.
  
  
• You will have to earn the money. That is, there is work to do and a system to follow. The money doesn’t just materialize in your bank account. This isn’t the “free lunch” Internet opportunity.
