Hello,

I was recently offered the opportunity to form a marketing company for a niche market with 1000's of ready clients.

However, I'm currently on the dole and am not sure if this is the right time to take the jump.

The company would if developed properly, has the potential to be applied world wide as a subsidiary of a world wide org who has marketing difficulties at present.

I have an investor and business partner and first project set up. But am unsure if such a move would be right for me at the moment.

This is a multi million pound market if developed correctly. However currently I am nervous if I can deliver.

The first project would be a telemarketing campaign which I would be solely responsibal, as at this stage we have no other staff.

I really think I could make ago of this, but am reluctant to take on such a big project currently.

So helpdesk... should I take the jump and just do it (am I just differing)... or should I bow out gracefully and not embarrass myself.

Well, my dear, only you can answer your own question, not us. Although you have put down all the advantages, what are the disadvantages. I would say you should do a pro and con list. Take a fullscap piece of paper divide in half, line down the centre and pros one one side and cons on the other. This should take you a while but that's the point really. Giving you time to make an informed decision is tantamount to your success.

Hello:

Let's see, you're on the dole and you're not sure whether you want to try to make a jillion dollars.

Well, if it were me, I'd just sit back and wait for my next check. Who wants to be rich anyway?? Then you got people telling you what to do, and all that kind of stuff. Being broke is where it's at.
