Hi


Most importantly, you need to identify a gap in the market 'can I offer something that no one else does'. Is it something that my target market may want. You must have a passion but the most important consideration is to establish whether you can make good money out of it.


Remember it is hard to make money but very easy to lose.


Don't be silly and think hard about it.


All the best.

-your age,skill(s),experience,studies, what is motivating you most,how perseverent you are,what is going to be your budget to invest, have you got any team lider skills so you could organise your people etc.


Good luck!

    • What a mess this morning. The back roads around Goodrich are full of diverted traffic. Nearly got hit by an obscenely-sized blue Audi (AE71… please get this obscenity off the ED roads or learn how to drive it.) 
    • I'd not really been keeping up on the National Guard situation, but having just had a quick Google, Portland is one of the cities where their use is pending. Obviously, anywhere inland is going to be much hotter than than coasts - even the Great Lakes cities like Chicago and Toronto hit very high temperatures when the Humidex is factored in - so I can't imagine what Kansas City could be like in high summer. Most of Kansas City is actually in Missouri, which is pretty strongly Trump country. The Mid West states tend to have higher gun ownership rates as well. Worth remembering if you're thinking about discussing politics in a bar. In general, if someone's wearing a Stetson and has a pick-up truck outside, they probably won't take well to talk about Democrats. And they probably have a gun. I'd stick to the Pacific coast. It's the most progressive part of the States, so at least you can open your mouth in a bar. The weather won't be as oppressive as the Mid West or the East Coast either. Vancouver, Seattle and Portland all have MLS teams - SF is getting one in the next couple of seasons - so the locals know something about football. It's worth driving the Pacific Coast Highway down from San Francisco towards LA, if you've not done it before. San Jose isn't really worth your time but Big Sur, Monterey, Santa Cruz and the beach towns like Capitola are well worth a visit. The National Parks network down the coast all provide decent campsites for next to nothing, and the whole area is really well set up for hiking, mountain-biking, canoeing and fishing.
    • It was very firmly closed 2 minutes ago between Friern and Barry (diversion down Friern). The actual barriers are Just west of the Henslowe road junction.
