Don't buy a franchise just because it is a familiar "name".
The name means very little, if your personality and skill sets do not match.



Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use proven research methods


When you start your search, start with you.. Do not start off this process by looking at franchise advertisements. They really don't mean a thing until you decide what past skills and experiences you would like to use with your new venture, and what you would like your day to day work to look and feel like.
