By Adam Kidan

Hate your job? Hate your boss?

You can !be your

own boss!

But what if you don’t have a business idea?

That’s okay, there are plenty of other ideas!

Become an agent for an existing brand:

• Real estate and insurance agents build their own businesses under established brands!

• The brand will train you on the product and handle things like marketing and market research, so you can focus on selling and keeping customers happy

Franchise

• There are plenty of franchise opportunities that cost less than $50,000 and can be started up quickly, such as Jan-Pro, H&R Block and Cruise Planners!

• Just make sure you research existing franchises, consult with an attorney and read relevant revenue

Become a !freelancer

• You can become an independent contractor in literally any business!

• You’ll be your own boss, hired and paid for specific projects!

• You will need to know your market, the demand for your service and typical expenses to develop a strategy and set your fees
