So we've established that digital businesses can be up and running in record time given our present technological capabilities, but maybe that's not your thing.

Well, another way to be up and running faster than normal is with a franchise: the branding, the methods, the products and services are already done, so you don't have to worry about any of that, and you'll typically also get some hand-holding when it comes to your marketing and your grand opening.

The more you succeed, the more the central office succeeds, after all.

Here's what else is interesting: new franchises fail only 10 percent of the time, whereas independent businesses have a failure rate of up to 60 percent.

Well, a friend from the libertarian world just set up an extremely valuable resource that matches you with possible franchises you might like, based on criteria you provide.

It starts with his free guide to franchising: pitfalls to avoid, what to look for, etc.

I recommend taking a look and giving it serious thought:
