• How much should the business generate?
– Equivalent salary if employed within 3 -5 years
• Demand/need should outstrip supply
• Preferably a business that is self sustaining e.g. phone calls are made 24/7
• The survival of a business is not dependent on the speed strength or intelligence of the entrepreneur rather on the ability to adapt to change
• Opportunity meets preparedness
