1. Not proving that you have the management expertise to make it happen. The quality of your people will lend credibility to your ideas and even to your financial projections. If your management team is not as strong as it could be, join forces with a great board of advisors.

Are you moving to the western region of the states-more specifically, the state of Washington, and even more specific, the town of Spokane?
