Put your livelihood in the hands of the person you trust most- YOU!

Written by: Doug Schadle

Article Overview: When you work for yourself, growth in your business is based on everything you do to market yourself and create a customer base. This helps you to put the livelihood of you and your family in the hands of the person you most trust- you! A franchise is built on how hard you work and my article discusses why you should consider this subject.

Put your livelihood in the hands of the person you trust most- YOU!

When you work for someone, you answer to them and do what they need you to do. Usually, that is not a problem. If something goes wrong, however, and you are no longer needed, you get fired. That doesn't just affect you- it affects your entire family and their livelihood. If you own a franchise, you become the person in charge of your family's livelihood - which is a good thing - because usually you are the person you trust the most. If you own your own franchise, you are constantly working to build your business, so everything you do benefits you and your family. If you want to do what is best for your family, wouldn't working for yourself and being in charge of everything line up as the best career move you can make?

As CEO of Rhino 7 Franchise Development Corporation, I set people up with several different unique franchise opportunities. One is Absolute Best Care, a nanny placement franchise. The reason I mention it is because it is a perfect example of being in charge of your family's livelihood. Absolute Best Care sets families up with nannies to watch their children. As the franchisee, you have the ability to choose a qualified and trustworthy person to watch other people's children. Since everyone wants this for their own kids, this is a great opportunity to do it for others while making a living.

So put both you and your family's livelihood in the hands of the person you trust most- you! You will work harder for yourself than anyone else ever will, and if you want to succeed, you will. You have the best opportunity to put your family in a good position for the rest of your life, so get to work... own a franchise.

Re: About: product production! - [quote=I am excited about creating my prototype....and I heard that its not the wisest idea to have some company do it for you (is that right?) because it is too expensive. EVERY SINGLE DAY, I hold my hands out in front of me....and I imagine that I am holding the final, finished piece in my hands...and smiling admiring it, feeling proud of it (ect) Now my job is to not get my butt scammed cause I worry some time's I may be naive? But I do have a really good intuition and always trust my gut before proceeding with anything. DO you have any other words of advice that I should know , once I have completed my prototype? Am I supposed to contact a manufacturing company and see if they could help me Or patent my Prototype AND THEN CONTACT A MANUFACTURER??........ughh I feel so stupid. Like I said I am so new to this and amateurish. THANKS!![/quote] Dear Fresh Goods An inventors journal is agood place to start. Have it witnessed by someone who doesn't have a financial interest in your invention. A brief description and a hand drawn sketch is a good start. Prototypes come in many different forms. Breadboard prototypes are big, ugly, unreliable and sometimes dangerous. Clay models just look like the product. they usually ave no moving parts. Computer models might be the easiest for a young person and cost effective. Some prototypes are whittled from wood and held together with cardboard and glue. My young friend few people know it all at the beginning or the end of a project. Sometimes just taking small steps towards your goal will get you there before you know it.
Business Query....HElp me out! - Hi I am a young enterpreneur who has started a market research company . I am facing tough time in sales even though we can offer very low cost and smart service to our clients. I have the following queries. 1. As we are a start up company we generally try to approach other start ups ,middle sized (20-50 employee) companies around the world for getting projects. Is this the right strategy?. 2. Current sales Strategy: a) We email our business proposal and then call them for a followup .Many of the times ,the telephone exchange says us to email the business proposal to an email address and we do so. Should we request her to fix an appointment with the relevant person?.If not her, who is the right person. How shall we move a call after the operator. b) Sometimes we are able to speak to the right person but after sending the business proposal we do not get a positive reply. The reason we apprehend is that we are not able to build up complete trust in clients eye. How to build this trust ? Waiting for your replies and suggestions, Thanks in anticipation Sandeep
Re: Most desirable type of business to start - [quote="litekepr":1xpg7kl3]For years I've heard it said that its easier to scam a person that you don't have to look in the eye. The internet can provide a almost impenetrable blockade between a person and their customers - if they choose to use it that way. That is why I often focus on explaining to business people that they need to build their credibility online. The customers can't usually meet us in person, so if we want to gain their trust -- we need to increase our credibility in other ways and once they learn we know what we're talking about, they are more likely to make an educated decision about whether to make a purchase from us.

For instance, whenever my friend thinks about discontinuing his subscription near the end of the month because of a lack activity... he'll suddenly receive a bunch of "matches" which will deter him from leaving. For all we know, those "matches" could just be paid community leaders to start up conversations with those whose subscriptions are about to end!
Re: About: product production! - No....but I wish! LOL...I mean I am going to definitely soon. ...Thanks for the compliment! I know I have always been an optimist my whole life, and I think it goes with my sun sign too ...which is, Sagittarius. And as for a prototype... i do not have that yet either. I just have a burning desire to find out everything and anything I can, to really help me....and to just be more informed/knowledgeable about how this all works...so that I can put my words into ACTION! See, if I had a "master plan" that said "this is what you do first, second you'll have to do this...and then comes this part..." (etc) I would have been already in action and moving forward with my goals. I don't have a prototype yet and this is why i WAS asking all of these questions....because these questions drove me crazy at night when trying to sleep. I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING....so that I can be well informed on how I go about doing all the steps necessary in order for me to get ahead. I am excited about creating my prototype....and I heard that its not the wisest idea to have some company do it for you (is that right?) because it is too expensive. EVERY SINGLE DAY, I hold my hands out in front of me....and I imagine that I am holding the final, finished piece in my hands...and smiling admiring it, feeling proud of it (ect) Now my job is to not get my butt scammed cause I worry some time's I may be naive?

The Celebrity Apprentice - Episode 4 - I've enjoyed watching the show. Kevin, you mentioned something that I've been thinking, too. You said, 'it's always using the quiet "nice girl" as the scapegoat.' Perhaps the nice girl could step up to the plate more, but I see value in that she doesn't try to usurp the leader, she supports her. I've been thinking something similar. Actually, Gene Simmons brought it up last week when he brought Amarosa back. His explanation was that you want to surround yourself with people you trust. It's great to have women who are assertive, but must business be so hard and cold to be effective? No wonder Donald Trump suggested the corporate world is not a nice world. As an ambitious person, I love being around other ambitious people. I find it fun to bargain, debate or bounce ideas off one another. I see no reason to be mean about it though. In fact, I believe we are far MORE productive when we are enjoying what we do and inviting others to enjoy it with us. I also want to have people on my team that I can trust. I'm curious if others really feel you have to be mean to be effective. Would you hire the person with a cold edge that you really can't trust? This type of behavior is creating incredible stress and costing big corporations more money due to low productivity (caused by fatigue and less job satisfaction); more sick days; increased usage of health care dollars; breakdown in the employee's home life which then affects the office life even more negatively; and loss of great employees who are looking elsewhere for a better place to work. It's a pretty high price to pay.
