Exit & Go Decision

At this point in your journey you've put in dozens of hours of work to understand your idea, your budget, your potential, skills needed and resources to help. A critical step is knowing when it might make sense to put your idea back on the shelf and move on. This may feel like giving up but many entrepreneurs get stuck in a spiral where they can't break away and move on. This burns up time, energy and money.Write down in a journal where you are at present. What have you learned, what obstacles are in your way. If there was something that would stop you dead in your tracks, what would it be? Think about these critical decision points and write them down. Revisit these periodically as they will change or you'll become aware of triggers that mean you'll need to take action. Keep in mind there is nothing wrong with making a smart decision to walk away from something that isn't working. An exit might also be a very positive event such as selling the business or licensing it to someone else. Consider what your future goal is and write that down. This will be your North Star which would provide guidance for future decisions.
