I have seen people from all walks of life,many different work backgrounds and a diverse range of nationalities attempt to make a go of running their own franchise business. No all succeed. Many perform to a passable level. While others just excel. What is the magic formula? Use the Proven Systems I don't believe it's intelligence or education for that matter. I have seen university trained 'Professionals",like accountants,business managers and solicitors fail. While I've seen new immigrants with minimal education and English as a second language excel.
