Interested to see the reaction on this one. I always hear people say that they are not cut out to be in business or their not a salesman or what have you. Does this mean there are only a chosen few from birth who have the right and the skills to become an affluent business owner?

Too many people make business decisions based on emotion rather than numerical facts. Rather than listen to what statistical data might show and run a business based on economics some decide to do things because it is in their heart to do so. You may have an overwhelming desire to bring joy and happiness to the masses, but unless it is marketable and people are willing to pay for the service.... business will fail. I do not think it is "inherited". Business that succeed do so based on more revenue coming in than expenditures going out and they consistently do so (not a fad) for many years in all types of economic climates. Business that run on emotion rarely accomplish this unless they are just fortunate enough to have a solid business model to begin with. Supply and demand economics cannot be defeated with emotion. Things like "Location, location, location" are as significant as the type of business and customer base in the area. The internet and global distribution certainly help overcome location. It does not matter how much you may want to or how much your heart is telling you to do so.. you will not sell mass quantities of computers to the Amish. If these things are not obvious, they must be learned.

It is sometimes hard to get through to let them know the things I know now. I am still new to business and have a lot to learn. I feel it is my responsibility to those who want it who are faced with the naysayers and no data to back it up. There are low cost things out there that beet any job offered making them leaders again. What do you think about the question, where are you coming from?

Learned. I owned and ran a Snapon franchise for over 19 yrs. My training was the 24 yrs I spent in the Navy. If you are willing to work 80 hours a week and pay attention to your business you will be successful

Hey Bud!
I got out to be a franchise broker and consultant. I love hearing about experiences through franchises. I help vets find the ones that can make them successful and would love to have some in depth input as a veteran franchisee. I Am building a site to educate vets and help them determine if franchising is right for them. If you ever have the time, I would love to know more about your story!

Plain and simple. You work your butt off for it, find a little luck along the way, and make a lot of your own luck.
