Paul,

Whoa, Paul! Slow down. No. Stop for a bit. Catch your breath.

You seem to have more starts, stops, inputs and exits than folks have fingers and toes.

Perhaps it's time to try something a bit different. Why not give it a rest.

Stop thinking about the problem long enough to both clear and relax your mind. Maybe a day or two, maybe a weekend, maybe a little longer. Whatever it takes.

Next, list a FEW of your best options.

Make arrangements to sit down with an entrepreneur -- perhaps over breakfast; someone you can trust, someone who could be objective, (NOT family; and usually NOT a close friend), and pick his or her brain about a business plan. Be brief. Work quickly. You should have time to discuss only the important items. Take good notes. (You can fill in and add details later.) Discussion should be rational, not emotional.

In only one-half hour to one hour, you could have the makings of a fairly acceptable business plan ready for details.

Incidentally, small business plans can be fairly brief. Often, a few pages are sufficient to convey needed information.

Whew!

Paul, just a suggestion. I hope coming on like "gangbusters" doesn't turn anyone off. Hope things work out for you.
Mary
