I don't know about you, but all this talk about our lousy US economy is getting old. (Two years old!)
Having said that, I certainly know several friends, neighbors, and even some family members of mine that are struggling. It really sucks.
Warning; I'm not some brilliant financial planner who can suggest some great places to invest, right now, so you can make some fairly quick money.
What I am is a franchise consultant/broker. I do have the power to change your "personal economy," if you'll allow me into your world. In times like these, there are opportunities that are out there for the taking.
Trust
In order for you to change your personal economy, you'll have to put your trust in me. (Or someone!)
The internet has allowed lots of people to establish a presence, and be either self-proclaimed experts in their fields, or real ones that others look to for advice and counsel. I feel that true expertise comes from real-life experiences, combined with years of perfecting a craft.
Real expertise brings with it, kudos from others in your particular industry, and from clients or customers that have actually benefited from your products or services.
I've been in the consulting area of franchising since 2001. I ran franchises businesses before that.
Some kudos
I'm Not Bragging
I just wanted you to see what others have to say about me, my work/personal ethics, and my professional services.
Not everybody likes me, though. I'll admit that I'm almost never politically correct, I tend to get to the point rather quickly, and I never sugar-coat my feelings when I'm engaged in conversation, when I'm being interviewed by the media, or, when I write.
Some of it's my A.D.D. I think that some of it is age, too. I'm 51. I don't really care as much about how others feel when I say or write something. I care more about;

A gentle tip from The Franchise King®:
Do not buy a franchise until you know EXACTLY how to do thorough research.

Need help?
I have helped a lot of folks find great opportunities in franchise ownership. I love helping folks not get a job. I really want more people to go after their dreams, and I feel very strongly about franchising as a way to do so.
I've said before that franchising is not for everybody, but for some, it could just work.
Let me add that this just may be the time to get into a franchise of your own.
Here's why
If you, or someone you know has been recently downsized, (or working at a job they just can't stand) I may be able to help change some things.
I work with a select group of franchisors who are always looking for great people who'd like to become franchise owners.
I can help you figure out which franchises you should be looking at, and which ones you should not spend any time exploring, for various reasons.
I don't sell franchises
I'm a franchise matchmaker. I'll work with you to determine your strengths, your financial risk tolerance, and teach you how to protect yourself with the proper franchise research techniques.
Go to my main website to learn more about my unique process.
If you don't feel that you're ready to take that step, which includes trying to figure out a way to start controlling your own destiny, (instead of your boss doing it for you) and allowing me to personally help you find some great opportunities, I've created some easy to follow, eBook style franchise guides that can get you on your way, at a much slower pace. There's even a complimentary one.
