Most people look at franchises all wrong—they see it as buying a job.

I sold a business for $1. Not $100k. Not $10k. One dollar.
Why? Because I fell for the “semi-absentee” franchise lie — the one that promises you passive income in just 5–10 hours a week while keeping your job.

In this episode, I break down which franchise models will bleed you dry, when semi-absentee can actually work, and how to avoid the $300K mistake I ...
