So here's my question: What Does It Take To Become A Successful Entrepreneur?  What type of business should I start? Which ones do I avoid? And where am I going to be successful? If you're thinking of leaving Corporate America and starting a business, you should be asking yourself all of these questions.  Luckily, today's guest can help us out with that!  Rebecca Monet is a franchise expert, CEO, and Chief Scientist at Zorakle Profiles.  She's also been a mentor and friend for the past 12 years.  In this episode Rebecca and I talk about franchises, careers, professional profiles, identity, skills, and what does it take to become a successful entrepreneur.
