However, I am only 17 years old and still have alot of schooling left before I can even think about walking into a bank and asking for a loan. So my question is what does the future look like for, well, future business owners? I would love to own a business and not have to live paycheck to paycheck but I want to know your opinions as to what the success/failure rates might look like in 5-10 years.

A survival rate that's twice as high could simply be caused by the fact that smarter people are drawn to certain industries. That being said, I found this blog, because I did a search for something such as "right market" and "entrepreneurs", which I guess shows that I share your opinion - I just don't think the stats necessarily back it up. Btw - what I find really interesting (being an online marketer myself), is that in online marketing & SEO, most really good people are known to stop working for other people and just run their own sites for a living (multiple sites usually). "Chance" seems to play a very little role when it comes to experienced SEOs/Online marketers who turn (online) entrepreneurs, but it seems to be about skill for the most part....whereas the same thing apparently cannot be said about people starting businesses offline if what Ive read is correct. It makes me wonder if online skill plays a much higher role (Im not saying it's easy, obviously a bunch of people do fail online), perhaps because the cost of starting a new website, and getting it to the point where it pays for itself is so much lower of an investment (thus someone who is great at it can start multiple sites and abandon those that aren't working out without too much of a cost). Not to sound cyncial, but…..do you really think it’s a good idea to look at the numbers and then conclude that correlation also means causation?

I have read your postings and I believe you may be able to show me a better direction to research our problem. We have/had a franchisee tenant in a restaurant lease, now in breach of no payment for 3 months. However, the "managing company" claims they are managing the franchisee's affairs and that the "managing company" is not a new ownership, therefore, they are not subletting and we, the landlord can do nothing about it. the "managing company" wants to discount our rent over $3,000 a month. Our question is, can the franchise company allow a managing company to run the franchisee's locations? one of the franchisee's locations filled ch 11. it does not make sense? we called the franchise and all they would offer is, "we are watching the franchisee and they still have a license to sell our product at their 4 locations." is the franchise in on the deal until the "managing company" gets their license as a franchisee? the franchise is still getting their royalties monthly but we have not been paid as a landlord for 3 months. please comment.
