I have 40 years of self employed experience. Not multi million dollar businesses, but small 1-3 people operations. It is more likely you are thinking about starting a small business, not a big one. You need to know the truth about what it takes to start your own business and what it will take to keep it going. I will ask you real questions. Questions that may cause you to stop with your idea. I will present information your friends and relatives won't discuss with you because the want to encourage you, and don't want to hurt your feelings. I won't tell you what businesses will be successful, or fail. I will give you some tools to evaluate your business ideas and make your own decisions. If I help you decide not to proceed, and you don't loose your life savings, and your family, my purpose will be served. If you proceed and are successful, that will be fantastic. But you decide what you think is the best path for you. I won't tell you what you may want to hear, I will tell you what you need to know.
