Top Ten Do's and Don'ts Print this Top Ten List
Top Ten Do's and Don'ts Print this Top Ten List
TOP TEN DO'S Live frugally and begin saving up money for starting your business. Learn your intended business by working for someone else in the same business first. Consider the benefits of starting a moonlight business. Consider the advantages of operating a family business. Objectively measure your skills and training against potential competition. Consider subcontracting to low cost suppliers if you're manufacturing a product. Test market your product or service before starting or expanding. Make "for" and "against" list describing the specific business you are considering. Talk to lots of people in your intended business for advice. Make a comparative analysis of all opportunities you are considering. TOP TEN DON'TS Don't even think about leaving your job until you have completed start-up plans. Don't consider starting a business in a field you do not enjoy. Don't risk all the family assets. Limit your liabilities to a predetermined amount. Don't compete with your employer in a moonlight business. Don't be in a hurry to select a business. There is no penalty for missed opportunities. Don't select a business that is too high a risk or hurdle. Go for the 2-foot hurdle. Avoid a business in which you must have the lowest price to succeed. Don't be afraid to seek out and learn the negative aspects of an intended business. Don't let entrepreneurial self-confidence outweigh careful diligence. Don't let the promise of a conceptual high reward deter reality testing first. http://www.freewebs.com/globalsourcingservice/ http://www.eucarwash.ten.lt |

What's a 'forum'? This is Usenet...and newsgroups... :-) Surely 'forum' is a generic term that is a reasonable description of a newsgroup? No, forums are generally web based and we have had enough trouble with those in here over the years. Dave |

But it generally tends to indicate a lack of understanding by the poster, concerning the nature of the audience to which they are posting. -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by Avenue Supplies, http://avenuesupplies.co.uk |

On the WWW a "forum" is a web based system where you can read discussions on a specific web page(s) system. Usenet is completely different, the discussion is distributed by newservers directly to your own machine. Groups.google is trying to pretend that it *is* usenet by offering a web based interface to usenet. Read http://www.google.co.uk/grphp carefully. -- Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst* method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like: Top Ten Do's and Don'ts 1 to 10. Assume that something you've picked up from the internet is ********. -- Dave |
