The resources in your community are critical to your success. You will need some of these resources to both survive and prosper. Make sure you are starting your business in a community that can support your effort into the future. Know where you are going and how you are going to get there. Most people who get lost and die from overexposure in the woods meet that fate because they went in circles.
Businesses are no different.
Once you know where you are going and how you are going to get there, go in that direction. But don t be afraid to change if your assumptions and presumptions were not accurate. Just understand clearly when and why you are making a change in your business direction. Your selection of business professionals and advisors is no different. If you spend too much time getting advice from too many people, you will get every possible answer to your dilemma.
