The economy is down and unemployment is through the roof. So you have to ask yourself, "Is now the time to start a business?"

I heard a story once about the difference between an optimist and a pessimist. The story says that there were two young boys. One was given a pony. When they brought it to him he began to cry and ask, "Who's going to feed it and clean up after it?" The other boy was taken into a room where there was a large pile of horse manure. He began to cheer and yell "Yippie, yippie," and he jumped on the pile and began to dig. When they asked him what he was doing, the boy said, "With this much horse crap here, there must be a pony somewhere!"

Entrepreneurs are optimists. And franchises, (cleaning franchise, fast food, other service industries) have a lot of potential in the current economic environment because they generally provide suppoert to new business people.

It's something to consider.
