My wife could ;), but I couldn't.</p><p>Like everything, growing a business is a process and as such, you have to follow specific steps to get to where you want to go. Getting paid is one of the first steps.</p><p>Also, your point about "making sure the business pays for itself" is important not only in just being smart but also proving that your business can work...now. Not 2 years, 3 years or 5 years out...but now. Having the business pay you is sort of the "canary in the mine" -- if it can't pay you in a timely manner, you need to get over it, get out, and move on to the next project.</p><p>Cheers.</p><p>James Weddle</p>James WeddleSat, 31 May 2008 13:10:57 -0000
