Decision Making
If you are ready, this usually means:
You like what you hear so far, but do not have enough information to make your decision.
Action: Gather your list of additional questions and call us.
You like what you hear, but you're still looking at other opportunities.
Action: List the positives and negatives of each, such as Industry size, Industry outlook, Income potential vs Investment level; Equity potential;
You like what you hear, but the timing is not right.
Action: Figure out specifically what is holding you back and then develop a plan, or call us and we'll help you develop a goal and a plan.
You like what you hear, but you don't have the capital.
Action: Consider taking on a business or investing partner. Call us about using your retirement assets to fund your business.
You like what you hear, but you're scared.
Action: That's ok. If you didn't have some reservation about starting a business, we'd wonder about you. 10 years from now, what will you regret more, trying and possibly failing or not trying at all?
Once you've conquered all the above and you're still interested it's time to move to Step 4.
