Anyone went through similar thought process?

bioman....

It is good that you are already looking around.

MLM and franchising is an ok way to start. The downside of these avenues is that you build your principal's brand and not your own brand.

I have friends who are franchisees and they are neither unhappy nor very happy with their businesses. But they can survive. On the other hand, they are still looking for other kinds of opportunities.

If you can start something of your own, you will channel more energy and effort into it. But the reward is that people will recognise you and your brand. That goes a long way in future.
