Why do you want to go there?
Does it make sense in life?
Does it make sense in business?
Do you have the resources you think you will need?
Who can help?
Who is going with you?
When do you expect to start the adventure?
When do you expect to be through the start up part?
What is the minimum you need to declare “success”?
Do you know anyone who has been where you are going?
Is the prize worth the effort?
Are there other ways to get there?
What’s the worst thing that can happen on this adventure?
Who can you trust and what can you believe?
What experience do you have that will help?
Your blind spots are?
Your weaknesses are?
Your strengths are?
Your passion really is?
What does the world say you are good at?
What does the world say you are not so good at?
Sit back, close your eyes, take a deep breath and ask yourself “does

pausing a full minute to reflect between each iteration.
What is your “end game” for this endeavor?
