    Hi Dane:

    Nice collection of rules and I like your rules 5, 7 and 11. b
    But I am missing one basic one, which to my opionion is among the most important:
    Before starting an one business perform a career planning and self-assessment process in order to learn more about your skills and deficiencies. You always will be successful when you explore yourself and you are doing what you really like and where you can be competitive and creative.
