MENTORING TEAM NEEDED -- IF ONLY! Wow! Someone had told me about the pitfalls.... the valleys.... the challenges. All of us have often said the same during the course of building our business?. especially about the PERSONNEL issues. Anyone can be successful. YOU, too! There is one BIG requirement.

Don't get side-tracked by the "nay-sayers" telling you to keep your job. Forget it. You'll go broke! Fail. Work 80 hour weeks. Your spouse will leave you. There are hundreds more with negative thoughts or fear. DO YOUR HOMEWORK Every business should have a BUSINESS PLAN. Otherwise, you will likely "go down the tubes" like I have more than once. Why? It's all about FOCUSing your dream. A friend of mine says that one of the very best books is part of the "DUMMIE" series for writing a business plan. Worth buying and giving it your best shot.
