Why You Should NEVER Buy a Business, Business Opportunity or Franchise.

If I offered you the opportunity to risk a large amount of your hard-earned money, with an 87% chance that you would LOSE it, what would you do? Well, that’s EXACTLY what you do when you buy a “Business Opportunity”, License or Franchise, no matter what the salesperson tells you.

Now, the reason why 87% of people fail in these “businesses” in the first five years is a statistic. It’s not necessarily that the business opportunity is bad, although in many cases that is the cause; it’s just a statistic. Businesses fail for many reasons – lack of cashflow, lack of skills or experience, lack of support, wrong location, wrong pricing, wrong product – I could list 100 reasons why businesses fail. Here’s the scary part – in the next five years, a further 87% of the remaining 13% will also fail! So you have a TINY chance of success. You might as well go to the local casino.

I sold businesses and business opportunities, franchises and licenses for 18 years, so I should know. I also consulted with thousands of business owners. And before you indignantly cry, “SHAME! How could you?” I must tell you that most people who sell businesses know the statistics and many even tell potential buyers, but we just accepted that “That’s just the way it is.” Until, one day, a potential buyer asked me, “Robin, if this business opportunity is so good, why don’t YOU buy it?” I replied that I prefer to make my money through Joint Ventures. As usual, the buyer, like 99% of small business owners and 99.99% of employees, had no idea what a Joint Venture was. Until I started teaching people how to do what I do. I stopped selling businesses and I started sleeping at night.

No savvy entrepreneur goes out and buys a “Business Opportunity.” And most of those people slithering around in the “Franchise Shows” will tell you ANYTHING to sell you a business and earn their commissions. Not all of them will, but many of them will. I can easily make you a millionaire on paper. People want to believe that the salesperson has the answer to all their financial problems, so they deny their instincts and spend tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which they seldom get back. And don’t believe for one minute that franchises are any better. Buying a franchise is simply buying a job and many of them fail. And often, those people who you get to call to ask for references, are PAID to tell you lies.

Instead of shouting and venting about how dangerous it is to buy a “business”, let me rather show you the positive alternative. You can become a fully trained and supported Joint Venture Broker, with unlimited, international earning potential, for under a thousand dollars. No overhead. No risk. No cost. No cashflow problems. No inventory. Nobody to report to. Part-time or full time. Work from home, car, boat, beach, or cottage. All you need is an Internet connection and phone access. In fact, you can even do Joint Ventures without a phone or a computer. Sound too good to be true? I have done it for 19 years.

Can you fail as a Joint Venture Broker? SURE, You can. If you’re lazy, sloppy, arrogant, unprofessional, dishonest, and stupid, you will fail at anything. But if you commit a full working day and if you’re prepared to learn and make mistakes (without the risk of losing money), if you’re open-minded, professional, disciplined and honest, this is the best way I have ever found to make money. But you DO have to work and you will make mistakes. I hate risk. I have never bought a lottery ticket or gambled in my life. I am frugal, careful, and very realistic about human nature. I am a cynic and a skeptic. But I understand business and I know how to remove risk and cost. I don’t do MLM / Network Marketing and I am not interested in schemes and scams. That’s why I love Joint Ventures. No seasonality, no limitations, lots of freedom, no boss, lots of fun and very interesting. And lots of money.

So, put that bankbook away. Keep your savings. Don’t get into more debt. I know the salesman will tell you that you have to spend money to make money. He’s lying. You don’t. Don’t buy a business.
