No way, no how. Business opportunities, (or biz opps, as they're sometimes called) are not franchise opportunities. Are you picking up what I'm putting down, here? About a year ago, I got in a little online tiff with a gentleman...

Have to admit when I first read the title, I was thinking you were going to be writing something about how ordinary business opportunities used by an entrepreneur to start his/her own business differ from a franchise opportunity with a track record. But after I started "picking up what" you were "putting down, here" I saw you were taking it in a whole different direction. As someone who's blogged a bit about MLMs as well, I have to say the overall operative idea here is that IF YOU ARE NOT CREATING VALUE, IT ISN'T A BUSINESS! There is also no sure thing or a machine that makes money by itself or (here's my favorite) "on autopilot." I'm sure you run into this in the franchise consulting business as well. No one is going to pay you money for no reason. No one will walk into your franchise just because it's there. No one will buy something that has no value. (Or at least they will get angry and report you once they discover it has no value.) Create something of value that others want. It really is that simple. Anything else is a pipe dream.
