What kind of business do you want to start?
Are you emotionally suited to start and run your own business?
Are you financially prepared to start my own business?
Are you willing to invest the time and energy it takes to succeed?
What skills of training will you need? Do you have them or will you need to take special training?
Do you have what it takes?

You must cite at least five separate sources from the online course material, For example:
In John Maxwell’s story about the mountain climbers, I identify with the ones who press on even if it is the less comfortable choice.
