Dear Friend,

My name is Mark Leonard. In the last five years, I went from a 20 year career in high-tech to owning multiple franchises. Not just any franchise – the franchise ranked #1 by Entrepreneur Magazine 15 times. Along the way, I learned inside secrets that the franchise industry does not want you to find out.  Secrets that will teach you... 

How to quickly assess whether you can make BIG MONEY and achieve FINANCIAL FREEDOM with a franchise. 
 
  Do you know that while the franchise machine is cranking out dreams of Making it Big by becoming a franchisee, countless franchisees are struggling to make rent and payroll?

Now, for the first time, you are going to get the inside secrets... 

The same secrets that savvy entrepreneurs are using to achieve their financial goals…

And yes, we'll tell you that you can make a big income as a franchisee and start doing it very soon... AND that there are ugly traps that you need to avoid if you don't want to lose everything.

If you're skeptical, I don't blame you. Especially if you don't know anything at all about me. 

You see, about 7 years ago, my wife and I had saved up some money, and we weren't very confident in the volatile industries where we had our jobs.  We wanted to invest in a business that we could call our own, and which would provide some financial security for our future. We wanted a safe, but profitable, investment. Franchises appealed to us because it seemed like going into business with the help of a rich, benevolent uncle. 

So we jumped in, full throttle.  And the last 7 years have been an adventure with lots of discoveries.

Stick around, and I'll tell you how I discovered ...

When we first started to look for a franchise, we had to settle for using "trial and error" to find whatever we could about franchising. 

• We researched websites
• We worked with Franchise "Consultants" 
• We read UFOCs (Now called FDD - Franchise Disclosure Document)
• We attended Franchise Expos
• We attended "Discovery Days"
• We interviewed existing franchisees
• We attended Franchise Training
• We worked with commercial real estate brokers to find the perfect location

And yet, I always had a sense that I wasn't getting the full story.

I hit a cap. 

It was like there was an invisible glass ceiling that said...

"You can only find out 'this much', and there's NOTHING you can do to go beyond it."

Unless you have a family member in the business, there's only so much information you can get about the realities of the franchise business.

And make no mistake. It is a system, just like they tell you it is.

If you are going to have a prayer of being successful, you need to learn:

• how Franchisors legally hide damaging information;
• why Franchise Consultants work for "Free";
• why rich and successful franchisees don't give you the whole story;
• why struggling and/or failed franchisees won't give you the straight scoop,
• why media sources (websites and publications) are terrified of reporting the facts.

Now, you can find the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...

I'm here to help you get that truth…

Here's Why The "7 Sure-Fire Steps to Buying a Profit-Making Franchise" Is
Different From Anything Else
You've Ever Seen...

When I discussed with my wife whether we should reveal this information, we decided we should either reveal everything we could… or not do it at all.

Here is the other thing you need to know. I don’t know how long I will be able to offer this book.  Frankly, the information and insights revealed in this book are so explosive that I even considered writing it under a pen name. Insights like:

• franchisors frequently seek out ways to lower franchisee profits;
• How franchisors can legally LIE about their franchisee’s success;
• How landlords frequently trap franchisees;
• Why existing franchisees won’t tell you the whole truth;
• How to find the most profitable franchises for sale.

By the way, you DON'T have to buy my book to get this information.

You could do this all on your own.

All you have to do is:

• Listen to the franchisor trying to sell you a franchise;
• Listen to the franchise consultant trying to sell you a franchise;
• Listen to the franchise brokers who get paid when you buy a franchise;
• Read the publications which survive by selling ads to franchisors;
• Listen to the real estate broker who gets a payday when you sign a lease;
• Learn from franchisees who want to sell you their franchise;
• Buy your own franchise using your life savings;
• Go into hock for the next 5-10 years;
• See if it works out.

The bottom line is that the information contained in this eBook is easily worth thousands of dollars.  I've had clients pay me $2,000 each for the information you are about to claim.  And you are going to get it for not $2,000, not $1,000, not $500.

In fact, you will not even pay $100 for this information… IF YOU ACT RIGHT NOW.

"7 Steps Bonus Package"

It is critically important to me that you get this information right now if you are seriously investigating a franchise.  So, I am going to offer you 3 amazing bonuses for acting quickly:

This valuable replay will shed much light on the business acquisition process.

PS: This is the information I wish my wife and I had when we got started. Instead, we learned the hard way. If we'd known at the start what we know now, we'd have saved years of our lives and literally hundreds of thousands of lost dollars.

PPS: How much is this information worth to you? What if just one secret, or one question, or one insight you get saves you $1,000, or $10,000, or even $100,000?  None of those secrets are going to be revealed unless you act now.

PPS: I take 100% of the risk.
