One thing that comes to mind is asking oneself what is the need for this product and how will people see my service as something that would benefit them? How many markets does my business fit? Is it more than just an educational professionals? at the other end of the spectrum, how about retired senior citizens, are they a potential market for my business?Am I going to do all consulting? will I have a staff that I trust who will offer services driven br the company principles and belief system?
