Thoughtful Evaluation Will Pay Huge Dividends


"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

From Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872

I have a seventh serving man - his name is 'think.' And I've always substituted 'think' for 'talk' in the Walrus and the Carpenter. The overload of information on the Net is so great that it takes a huge mental effort to sort through what you've discovered. So I put my seventh serving man to work while my six other men take a breather. Taking the time to quietly think about what you've uncovered for your work-from home business - or any start-up business - will pay huge dividends. So don't just rush in and sign up - evaluate the profiles or promo pages and the research you've done on what you want to do. Remember the adage - 'people don't plan to fail; they fail to plan.'
