Franchise businesses such as McDonald's, Burger King, and Kall
Kwik Printing, are booming.
The people setting up franchise ideas and businesses know a good
thing, and are really promoting this idea.
Franchises for just about every conceivable kind of business are
being sold in ever increasing numbers.
Some franchises are very good. They treat both the franchiser
and the franchisee very well.
Others are very one-sided.
Others are almost total rip-offs, that trap one into paying ten
to fifty ...Read the rest of this entry »

So what do these two things have in common? On the surface, not
much. If your objective is to have a long and successful career
with an online business, then sustaining business success is
much the same as sustaining a long and successful marriage.
Recently I attended the 50th wedding anniversary of my parents.
As I listened to them answer questions about their life and
marriage, and how they succeeded, I could see similar traits or
characteristics with an online business.
I've been married for ...Read the rest of this entry »

According to the organizers of Take Back Your Time Day, which
was held on October 15, if Americans quit working on that date
and didn't work for the rest of the year, we would be working
the same number of hours as the average European. Even with high
unemployment, America has experienced near-record mandatory
overtime.
The October 11, 2004 issue of Time magazine reports that on a
typical day ...Read the rest of this entry »

Some people feel that it's a waste of time to post in various
newsgroups and forums to promote an internet business. After
all, most forums just do not allow advertising. You can't reach
many prospects at a time, and it takes way too much time to
visit them, or at least enough of them to matter, right?
WRONG!
Look at any established, successful 'netpreneuer and you will
see that most of them personally host or moderate some type of
bulletin board, plus they frequently post in others as well. ...Read the rest of this entry »

The conventional wisdom is that outsourcing has been very bad
for the U.S. Information Technology workforce. After all, now
that a company can transfer the work of a $50/hour U.S.
programmer to an equally skilled programmer in India or Romania
and pay only $5/hour for the same job, what are U.S. workers to
do? Ross Perot once famously described the result of job loss as
the 'Giant Sucking Sound''from the movement of the jobs
overseas. Virtually every newsgroup, blog and magazine ...Read the rest of this entry »

network marketing Internet business is no different from any
other online business. The fundamentals are the same. What

Recently there were several posts on an Internet marketing forum
discussing whether affiliate marketing was easy. Specifically,
the original poster was angry because he said it seemed every
marketing product promised "easy affiliate riches", but that he
wasn't finding it that easy, and wasn't having much success so
far. It's certainly true that some sales letters over-hype, both
inside and outside the Internet marketing field. But what about
it? Is ...Read the rest of this entry »

When I travel, I've got standards set for such things as hotels
where I get booked. They must be in a safe area, clean and
reasonably close to the client site. My flights must be
prebooked -- never standby -- on a major carrier and,
unfortunately, coach class. My rental car must be from a major
provider, not be a subcompact and have power seats - so I can
see over the steering wheel and reach the pedals.
These are my basic required standards for business travel,
however, best practices take me ...Read the rest of this entry »
