68% of people aged between 18-55 want to be self employed, yet only 1 in 7 actually are.

So what's stopping people from taking the leap and building their own business? Can franchising provide some help in getting started?

We ask ourselves this on a regular basis, but in this episode we get to ask the inspiring Carl Reader author of one of the best selling books, Boss It.  He shares his views on changing the public perception of what being in business for yourself is actually like and why a normal career path may not be for the best route for everyone.

We also talk about:

- How his career links Accounting, Karate and Franchising to bring him to where he is today

- The importance of creating your own future

- Why franchising can be a great route into franchising

- What to look for in a great franchise

- Why business owners inspire Carl

- What a franchise is actually made up of
