A person who starts or purchases a business or franchise needs to make sure they are first a successful entrepreneur and have the experience necessary in both the type of business you are investing in and knowledge of how to run a business successfully. 

One story in a recent news article explains how a guy ended up becoming an entrepreneur accidentally.  By this he means that he just fell into being an entrepreneur.  He did not plan on becoming the owner of his own business one day but he ended up owning his own business based on doing something that he really liked.
