Investing does not mean that you should quit your daily job. This job can help you bootstrap the investment if anything goes wrong along the way. Absentee businesses are an excellent way of investing since you hire managers and people that oversee the day to day operations. The advantage of investing this way is that you can own several franchises and build your portfolio since you are not necessarily pinned down by any of them. Investments all come with their degree of risk, and while you might read several success stories of how people quit their jobs, try and stick to yours until you are sure that your venture can offer you the money you need to survive.
