Others say that success has everything to do with the company’s business model. Still others may say that it is all up to providence as to who will succeed and who will not. Frankly, all of these answers are true to some degree, but none is really the single most important factor in the success of a home home based business franchise; rather, the most valuable and profitable aspect of a business is, arguably, the character of its owner. If everything else is in place, but the franchise owner doesn’t have the right balance of character traits to both follow the franchisor and lead his own company, there is going to be a problem. So here are some characteristics that are invaluable for a franchisee to have.”

Doug Ragan presents How YOU Can Help Save The Economy posted at I’m A Pundit Too, saying, “Who’s going to save us from our failing economy? Do you really think that Congress can save both big business and you at the same time? It is obvious to everyone that the economy is in big time trouble. But what everyone doesn’t understand is how to put it back together. There is much debate about fixing the economy, bank bailouts (thanks Paulson), auto manufacturer bailouts (thanks Bush), freezing foreclosures (thanks Fannie), expansion of government programs that take jobs from the private sector(thanks Obama), the list goes on. One of the interesting things about this very long list is that it mostly seems to be about what the government can do to fix the economy, instead of what the individual can do. The government has a habit of trying to tell business what to do, then trying to prop business up to keep it from failing. This has created problems that won’t be fixed by more of the same. If you really want to talk about “Change” then you need to talk about what individuals can do to put the US economy back on track instead of what the government is going to attempt to do.”
