Rule is a graduate of the University of Missouri and a published author of other authoritative books such as "No Money Down Financing for Franchising" and "Rule Book of Business Plans for Startups". After the U.S. Army, he started a real estate development business during the 1970s becoming a self-made millionaire in four years. Slowed by the recession in the 1980s, Rule rebounded six-fold in the decade that followed. He became interested in franchising when he married his wife--a real estate broker, and together they owned a Century-21 franchise in California until retiring to Hawaii, where Rule continues to pursue his first love of writing.
