Digg it UP - Starting a Business: Should You Do It?
Just like dressing to get hired, the interview itself it fraught with opportunities to fail. But there are “rules”.

They always cover the basics of resume writing, interview preparation, cover letter writing, how to create a ref
1. The overwhelming majority of new businesses fail within the first few years of opening
2. You will be assuming responsibility for a “spouse” that never sleeps, always puts demands on your time, does not recognize weekends, and never is satisfied
3. You are ready to give birth to a “child” that is always hungry for more time and attention, is ungrateful, rarely if ever does what you expect it to do, and whose maturing is not something that you view as an occasion for celebration
4. Your only experience in running a business enterprise was a newspaper route or a lemonade stand when you were a kid
5. Your skills are highly developed in your area of expertise, but you hate (selling, accounting, information technology, etc.)
6. Your lifestyle is predicated on a steady income based on a twice monthly paid salary
7. You have little (or no) money saved up in the bank to sustain you through the lean weeks/months of your business start up when expenses are high, and income is low
8. You realize you will likely not see friends or family on the same schedule or regularity as you were able to previously. When they are “off work” – you are just kicking into gear or hitting overdrive
9. You have little idea on how expensive it is to rent property, buy technology, acquire insurance, purchase supplies, hire experts (accountants, attorneys, printers, etc.).

Have you ever wondered how architects are able to sell an idea of a new house, office block or other building to potential buyers? Well, they use blueprints and sketches, obviously, but it is not easy for most people to visualize a two-dimensional technical drawing as the final structure. The key to convincing a buyer that the architect’s design is going to become the house or o

Well that certainly is a direct -- if not offensive -- title, isn't it? Stay with me a little while longer, and you will understand its significance.Many of us realize that, to get a buyer's attention, we have to tell them about benefits. As Jack Trout and Al Reis wrote in their best-seller, Positioning, everyone listens to the same radio station, WII-FM (What's In It For

What else would I do first thing in the morning?It's 5.50am when I jump into the pool. When the cool water hits my body I'm instantly awake. Awake enough to think,"why do I do this? I could still be in bed! Am I crazy ?"Before you say "Yes," I can hear you asking too, "why DO you do this?"Why? Because:a) I've recognized a connection between

Better to think it through now than to begin the long and sometimes painfully arduous process of launching a new business only to recognize it really is not what you want or even are interested in doing. There are a multitude of reasons NOT to go into business for yourself. There is no shame in being part of a large company and plying your craft and skills for that entity and doing all you can to improve their performance. In fact, were it not for that crazy unyielding fire that burns within a select few of us who are dedicated enough to defy the odds and good sense; we would all be in search of a “safe job” that did not come with the hazards of entrepreneurship.
You have now come to that fork in the road – do you travel the path of the tortured soul willing to “bet it all” on a less than certain thing, or do you pick up your chips from the table and decide that prudence is the better strategy. Whichever path you choose, there will always be that moment when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and wonder, “How would it have been different if I would have chosen the other path?” Good Luck in your future…whichever way it takes you (or you take it!).
