to it's business tips video series, 10 Habits of Successful Business Owners.

You can watch the video by either visiting WatchMeFranchise.com or by streaming the

"Successful small business owners come from all walks of life," notes the video's
host, Amanda Scarr. "But as different as small business owners can be, they usually
exhibit a few fundamental traits that are common among all successful business
owners."

Below are short summaries of each "habit". To watch the full video head over to
YouTube.com/RoniDeutch.

1. Always Motivated
Everyone knows that you need motivation and drive to be successful in life. However,
when you are running a small business, you will need to be able to not only motivate
yourself, but motivate your employees as well.

2. Goal Oriented
Successful business owners are always goal oriented - they know what they want to
achieve and how long it will take them to get there.

3. Time Management Skills
When you own a small business, time equals money. If you want your business to be a
success you will need to understand time management.

4. Money Management Skills
In addition to managing time, as a small business owner, you also need to be able to
properly manage your money.

5. Pay Attention to Personal Health
Too many small business owners often forget to take care of their health when things
get busy. Poor nutrition can lead to a lack of energy and being susceptible to colds
and the flu.

6. Ability to Adapt
Having the ability to adapt is one of the most common habits of successful business
owners. When something is not turning a profit, you need to be able to quickly drop
it from your business and move on.

7. Risk Takers
Successful business owners need to be confident in taking risks. You have to take
risks to reap rewards.

8. Communication Skills
Being able to communicate well with others is a must. In addition to communicating
with your staff and customers, you also need to be able to network with other
business owners.

9. Open to Suggestions
In addition to being able to communicate with others, you also need to be able to
listen. No one is ever-right 100% of the time, and there are times that even the
most successful business owner will need to heed the advice of others.

10. Work Long Hours
Do not make the mistake of thinking that just because you own a business that you
will be able to take tons of time off. Successful business owners are committed to
their business and frequently work 60 or even 80-hour weeks.

WatchMeFranchise.com launched in May of 2007 as an effort to show the world the
process involved with opening a franchise business. The video blog has followed Roni
Deutch Tax Center franchisee Heather Spell from researching franchises online
through her success in the current tax season. The site features regular video blog
entries in addition to advice articles designed to help any small business owner,
regardless of their industry.

"My companies pride themselves on staying current with the latest Internet marketing
techniques," claims Roni Deutch. "When we began selling franchises, I wanted to find
a way to give our franchisees a voice, and a video blog seemed like the obvious
choice. Since it's launch, WatchMeFranchise.com has become a popular resource for
business owners and has been viewed by thousands of people seeking help with the
franchise process."
