<p>[quote user="Phoebe Vet"]<font color="#800000">Imagine what we could accomplish if we spent half as much energy finding ways to do things as we do finding reasons why we shouldn't even try.</font>[/quote]</p><p>Whether they are planning a vacation or a trip to the grocery story, most people ask themselves, at least subconsciously, whether they can afford the vacation or the items on the store list. I don't know anyone who thinks doing so is finding a way not to do something. It is prudent family financial planning.</p><p>The same concept applies to a business. If a business person has a good idea, i.e. a plan for a new service or product, she has to finance it. This means taking a game plan to her bank or investment bankers or venture capitalists for the money. They will ask a lot of questions, i.e. what is the market for the service or product, how will you pay off the investors, etc.? Again, I don't know any rational business person who thinks these questions are unreasonable or negative. </p><p>Only politicians, government officials, et. al., who are using taxpayer monies, seem to think that asking how something will be paid for is an attempt to find a reason not to do it. </p>
