This step is all about taking pause and considering your progress. Has this journey been easier or more difficult than you anticipated? Has it been fulfilling? Are you tracking towards your goals? Have you learned and grown such that you are set up for the next steps? Do you want to continue forward? There is nothing wrong with deciding this isn't a path forward, but before you make a decision one way or another, speak with several trusted resources and partners to provide perspective and support. Again either decision is perfectly fine. Entrepreneurship is a journey and each idea we have may not be a business that we want and that the market needs.
You should complete the following tasks before proceeding to the current one.
On your journey you'll need help and there will be times where you'll feel stuck. That's a perfect time to reach out to others who might be able to help. Create a list for yourself of people who are an email, phone call or coffee meeting away. These can be technical help, business help, emotional help, creative support or maybe they are just great connectors to others. There are also business centers and agencies that offer free assistance (see links below). Really anyone and anything. Make a list of their names, contact information and what help they might be able to provide. As you get out and network this list will grow and change. You may find you outgrow certain providers of help. That's ok. Be grateful and thankful for them helping you along the way.
List of resources, subject matter experts, trusted partners, and tools that can be useful to complete the task.
