You’ve been laid off, or fired, or you can’t get a job, or you’re plain bored, or you’re a new immigrant, or you simply can’t make it on your salary, so you strut off to the local franchise show or business broker, risk your house, your life savings, and your aged parent’s retirement funds, and you buy a business. Bad idea. There’s a reason why he’s called a business BROKEr, and he’s not the one that’s going to go broke. Worse still, you attend a seminar where a conman sells you an “investment” or “business opportunity”.
Why It Doesn’t Work… No Matter How Good It Looks
There’s a very good reason why savvy entrepreneurs will never buy a business at a franchise or business opportunity show or seminar – they’re not that stupid! There’s a reason why people sell a business, and it’s usually pretty scary. I could tell you stories all night long about how dishonest people can make any business or business opportunity look very good when they put it on the market. There are ways to make it look so good and so safe that it seems crazy not to buy it right away, but buying a business is not a smart move.
- Not just because 87% of new businesses fail in the first five years and 87% of the remaining 13% fail in the next five years, leaving a terrible 98.31% of new businesses in smoldering ashes before ten short years and many of the owners (and often members of their extended family and closest friends) financially ruined for life.
- Not simply because the owners of most small and medium sized businesses would make more money working at the local MacDonald’s.
- And not because it is statistically more risky to start a business than to go gambling in Las Vegas, and we all know how silly that is.
No, the reason why you shouldn’t even CONSIDER buying a business, “business opportunity” or franchise, is because it is a stupid choice for the following reasons:
- Most business owners are not salespeople, yet they need to sell their products or services in order to stay in business.
- 92% of businesses are desperately undercapitalized.
- The majority of business owners have 90% of their sales and marketing based on one principle system, the failure of which will instantly BANKRUPT them.
- 95% of businesses are susceptible to political, geographical, and demographic changes, which are completely beyond their control.
- A Franchise is really only a glorified job – you will never work harder or earn less, and MANY franchisees fail dismally, however the franchise is simply resold to another sucker, and the business is therefore statistically deemed “successful” – after all, the business is still running, isn’t it? Never mind the last two franchisees went bankrupt and lost their houses and savings and their middle-aged wives are now working two jobs, if they didn’t divorce their dumb husbands for buying the franchises in the first place. Oh, you think a franchise is “safe?” Note that Starbucks is not even a franchise, yet stores are closing down all around the world.
- In the case of most “business opportunities”, the only people making money are those selling them, and they’re selling them to people who have never been in business. That’s like a surgeon explaining the intricacies of an operation to a plumber – the plumber has no choice but to believe whatever he’s told!
“There’s Got to be a Better Way!”
Now it’s no good telling you how dangerous it is to buy a business without providing you with an alternative vehicle to take you all the way to glorious financial freedom. So here goes. You need a system and a technology that is proven and is designed to carefully avoid all the reasons why the conventional business only has a 1.69% chance of success in ten years, things like:
- The need to sell
- High overhead and inventory
- Royalties, franchise and license fees, rent, and employees
- Massive capital investment with many hidden and secret costs, which you will only discover AFTER you have bought the business
- Seasonal ups and downs – busy and quiet periods, chicken or feathers, feast or famine
- Long working hours
- All your proverbial eggs in one basket
- Subject to local competition, off-shore competition, big box store competition, weather changes, road changes, political changes, changing legislature, and things you could never expect (but the previous owner knew all about them, and that’s why he sold!)
- Massive risk and stress
- Shrinking margins
- The inability to sell
- A limited or diminishing market (what happened to camera stores when digital cameras came along?)
- Hard to find good people, sales people, skilled people, honest people…
The Proven System that’s Made Me Money for 21 Years
OK, enough. You’re already in tears, I know. Here’s a Kleenex. What money-making system that is proven, legitimate, and available can avoid all the above? Is it even possible? Yes, it is. There is a practical system that has been around for hundreds of years, that you can use with no overhead, no employees, no license or franchise fees, no capital investment, and no selling required, than can make you an UNLIMITED amount of money. This business system works anywhere in the world, and you can run it from anywhere with a telephone and a computer. How do I know? I’ve been doing it for the past 21 years. I work internationally, I have no overhead, my income is spread over 22 income sources, most of them residual, and I have no risk. Everything I earn is 100% PROFIT. And here’s the best part: I can run my core business in one hour a day. That’s right. One hour a day. And I can increase my income quickly and easily. Now, that’s freedom.
Too good to be true? Not if I can prove it, and I can. Now, if you already have a business, we can show you how to apply this system to YOUR business, and double or quadruple your profits, cut your time and overhead, and dramatically lower your risk.
What would it be worth to learn this skill, and to have the support and access necessary to create multiple money machines at will?

In July ‘08 I closed my 20 year practice, so, I do not have a business at this time. I would like some clarity as to whether I need an existing business to fully participate in your program and/or to implement the information from your bootcamps. Could you please advise? My interest primarily is professional training in how to become a joint venture broker. Does your training also include legal aspects of protecting oneself? Thank you, Lara
