   Top 7 Tips in Considering the Best Franchises to Own
   Have you been considering buying a franchise or starting your own business? Well, you are not alone and now that you have set your sights on a franchised business rather than starting one from scratch now you must determine which franchise to buy. Guess what? All franchises are not creat
   Things go wrong. There are those 'bad' days, when whatever we touch seems to just not be right or work right.

   There is a simple test to this, which I call 'The Inanimate Object Rule'. This rule states that if you have a problem with anything that is not living (i.e. inanimate), then it's time to take notice.

   That said, if you are having problems with inanimate objects, chances are the animate things around you will play up too.

   In my experience, the inanimate object problems show up first, so taking note of them earlier, rather than later, will save you way more problems.

   What are these inanimate objects then and how do they show up?

   • Top of my list are computers and any other technical object, especially gizmos. These will play up in this scenario most often. In fact you even treat them like real living things (which, of course, they aren't), and talk to them, shout at them and even blame them for when things go wrong.

   • Next up are things that it's easy to lose, like keys, purses, and those little gizmo things above.

   • Then it's transport. Things don't run on time, your car won't start and/or the traffic, just on that special day, is the worst it could be.

   • Little things. Toothpaste suddenly gets a life of it's own. Drawers magically jump out at you and whack your shin (or worse). You might even miss the coffee cup when you pour the kettle. There are a ton of these and I could (as I have been victim myself) write all day. I hope you get the thrust here.
