PASSION TO PROFIT
BY ANI K SI NGAL

I’ve had an entrepreneurial spark since I was a child. I’ve always
had the passion to chart my own destiny.
Even at a very young age, one of my favorite phrases used to be “I’m my own boss.”
But I didn’t only want great wealth. I wanted to be an entrepreneur, because I knew that it
was the best way I could do something good for people. I knew that being an entrepreneur
was the only way to make a truly positive difference in the world.
The problems were my fear and my lack of knowledge. I didn’t have anyone to guide or
mentor me in starting a business and becoming my own boss. So I went to college to
become a doctor. It seemed to be the next-best profession to pursue.
Unsurprisingly, my education in medicine was very
short-lived.
Within a few months, I knew I wasn’t going to make it. Medical school just wasn’t going to
cut it for me. So I went out looking for a solution.
My childhood fantasies of being
an entrepreneur came back and
I turned to the only friend who I
thought could help: Google.com
I typed the words “how to make
money” into the search bar. I went
through every type of business
opportunity that you can imagine.
From stuffing envelopes to filling
out surveys. They all seemed like
scams to me.

That was when I learned about
franchising. “That’s it!” I thought. With franchising, I could just take someone else’s system
and duplicate it. It was perfect!
