The Search for a Credit-Crunch Proof Income and a Fun Way of Earning It

Today 28 Oct 08 I've decided that I can make a full-time income from the Internet but I'm not there yet. I've had lots of minor successes but no breakthrough no runaway success, but I know it will come. I've been an eBay Powerseller and sold over a 1000 second-hand books on Amazon, I've built a mailing list of 2,500 people, I've earned money from Adsense and Clickbank, but not enough to impress my wife. So explore my Squidoo lens and see if you can pick up a few ideas for your success http://www.squidoo.com/thesuccess!

Have You Considered Buying a Franchise?

Having started several businesses from scratch I realise that there are a lot of attractions to buying a franchise, no burning up your enthusiasm and your capital just getting your business and market setup. With a franchise you get a ready-made proven business model, a business plan laid out to the finest detail, you cannot go wrong. Well that's true at least if you choose the right franchise and that's obviously the trickiest and most important part.

Well there are Franchise Exhibitions but now there is a special website called www.franchisegator.co.uk which has hundreds of franchise opportunities . To make the search easier these are devided into many categories including computers, cars, fitness, women's opportunities, health, sports and many more. You can also search for a franchise in the UK by Town or city, Capital available, and industry or sector.

The site is aimed at people looking for a franchises in the UK. The site also has lots of information about finance, the legal side, and general advice on franchising.

The most important thing is to take your time, perform due-diligence and choose wisely and you could find a successful credit-crunch proof business.

Franchise Gator is a subsidiary of Microsoft so is a really solid organisation.

Napoleon Hill was a Vandal and Hoodlum

I'm reading Napoleon Hill's lesser known book "A Year of Growing Rich" and was astonished to learn that in his youth he had been a trouble maker. His religious widowed father tried to beat it out of him which only made him worse. He was saved by the love he received from his step-mother when his father re-married. So that's where he learnt so much about failure and success.
