The Daily Checklist

very day is filled with a checklist of questions that an individual might ask themselves. What time do I need to leave for work? What am I having for lunch? When do I need gas? When are my bills due? Should I buy a new car or wait awhile?

           Founding a new business is much the same, albeit the questions are far more serious. Before jumping into a new life of running a business (instead of working for one), a list of important questions must be asked. These can range from simple ones such as, “Do I have the stamina and skills for a project of this size?” to, “How much will this cost?” (For a list of more topics to consider, click here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/martinzwilling/2012/09/16/10-reality-checks-before-starting-your-own-business/)
