I have gone to the franchising show at MBS last weekend. The investment for franchisees can be huge and of course no guarantee of success. With no such prior experience, I feel it is too risky for me. Nevertheless, I'm still thinking how to say goodbye to the rat race.

For a change, I may like to work overseas, any advice on how to look for one? I'm in the training profession, by the way.

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.
