    Awesome article, Eve! Joel Libava http://www.GreenFranchiseDirectory.com
  • Fitness Franchises - 03/01/2008
    Hi, I suggest contacting a couple of fitness franchises on your own, and request some brochures etc. That will be a good start. Most info online concerning fitness franchises are just advertising directories. best of luck! Joel Libava
  • Low-Cost Franchises - 02/28/2008
    Nice Job, Matt. Only thing i would add is this: Be careful when choosing anything in the Fitness niche. It is getting crowded, and some of the PR has not been too good, lately concerning this niche Joel Libava The Franchise King Blog
  • Buying a franchise - 02/28/2008
    Hi, I respectfully disagree about having to have a passion for whatever franchise you are interested in. Have a passion for being in business for yourself, first. The service or product is not as important. Also, did your marketing folks come up with this..you know commenting as a way to get leads? Joel Libava
  • I would like to second the fact that a lot of folks I work with are looking to keep their current jobs, and start some type of franchise business that involves hiring a manger from day one. This way, they can have something of value {Equity in a business} when they retire or leave their jobs.
