Best advice I've seen in ages, gentlemen. Permit me to add to it from experience.

I learned to 'trust my gut instincts' when I had been through a particularly bad time trusting folks I shouldn't have, in retrospect. As a result I ended up with tons of headaches including bad health, bad contracts, bad you name it.

Since I've gone back to square one and listened to ME I'm doing sooo much better on all fronts.

Yes, this applies to business, definitely! No more being talked into what isn't right for me (even if it's great for others), no more running around the block just because so and so said so. You get the picture, I'm sure. Any business I pursue is because my gut tells me it's right for me. Advice appreciated, of course, but the ultimate decision is mine. I don't need to make excuses to anyone unless I choose to for my own reasons. Now, THAT'S freedom!
