Who am I
In 1987 I was employed at a small manufacturing business of 25 people including management. I reported to the owner as assembly manager. I was injured in an accident losing most of my index finger on my right hand. I received a sum of $6,000 because of the accident. I decided to invest this small sum in a business. I did my due diligence investigating different business opportunities that were available from different sources.
Key point
My choice was an office cleaning franchise. Why?....
- With a relatively small investment a franchise guaranteed a monthly income. If you focus and commit to success you can do it.
- Equipment was included. (Your Resources)
- Training was included.
- My father had operated a cleaning business part-time and I had helped.
- Though I have a degree in polymer engineering I had always wanted to have my own business.
- The ROI of a franchise business could possibly be made in as little as 1year.
Many of the key points mirror those of Wealthy Affiliate:

How to be successful
How do you last over 20 years in a business?
- Most businesses fail within the first year. Learn to take advice and pay attention to detail. Pay attention to the experts and ask questions. (Sound familiar)
- Expand your business slowly. Re-invest and grow your resources. This will help you expand. (Patience)
- Never...Never stop learning or training. More profit comes from efficiency. Efficiency comes from using the tools that you have... wisely. (Learn how to use the tools)
- Stay Focused And Committed. (My favorite two words and add to those Persistent)
Grow at a steady pace. Don't surpass your level of competence. It will only lead to quick failure. (Once again, be patient)
