That brilliant recovering attorney, Brian Clark of CopyBlogger<\/a><\/strong>, may<\/em> approve of the title<\/strong> of this blog post.(I hope so!<\/em>)<\/p>\n

According to Lisa Kanarek<\/strong>, one of the nation\u2019s leading home office<\/strong> experts and the author of five books, "Working Naked\u00ae refers to the fact that when you start working from home, you\u2019re stripped of all corporate support including an administrative assistant, technical staff and even the office busybody to keep you in the loop. In other words, you\u2019re left naked<\/em>."<\/p>\n

If you're a home-based <\/strong><\/a>small business owner, you may feel naked, too.<\/p>\n


\nLisa asked me to write a guest post on her Working Naked<\/strong>\u00ae blog<\/strong>. She wanted me to write about the differences between a franchise business<\/strong> that's home-based, vs. a non-franchise business<\/strong> that's home-based.<\/p>\n

I wrote that "people who are looking at franchises are looking to get into business for the same reasons that people looking at non-franchise businesses are. But, it\u2019s also about speed; speed to market<\/em>."<\/p>\n

Speed.<\/strong><\/span> Lately, when folks ask me about the advantages of investing in a franchise business, I've been talking about the often-overlooked advantage (and it's a clear advantage<\/em>) of "speed to market<\/em>."<\/p>\n

Opening up a franchise business in your local area will allow you to get up and running, quickly. The system's all in place; you don't have to invent it yourself<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Could that<\/em> save you some time? Could having a strong, (and proven<\/em>) system, help you crank your business up faster?<\/p>\n

If you've been a loyal reader here, you know that I have<\/em> to bring up the dark side<\/strong>, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There are <\/em>disadvantages to a home-based franchise business<\/strong>. To learn what they are, you'll have to go to my guest post on the Working Naked\u00ae blog<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
