James,
You have started several successful companies. Can you share with us your thought process or checklist or criteria or important variables you go through to maximize the chances of starting a successful company. Hopefully that makes sense.
For example here at the Fastlane Forum we use "CENTS", an acronym from the book: The Millionaire Fastlane
N= Need, your product or service must be of value or benefit to others to warrant the transfer of money between parties.
E= Entry, there must be barriers to entry.
C= Control, you must control vital variables that influence your business.
S= Scale, it must be a scalable business, instead of just being able to sell 10 units, you need to be able to sell 100,000.
T= Time, the business must be able to become a self existing organism on its own to free you of time bondage.
Thanks,
