The business planning that you have done up to this point will kick in now to carry you on through execution portion of transition phase. Lots of work needs to be put forth to ensure that your business is successful. Congratulations!! You're out of starting blocks!!!

The last phase of development is most gratifying. This is when your mind re-learns to open up. When you were a child, your mind was wide open to new things. That is how children can absorb so much so fast. Successful people, as compared to lucky ones are those that keep their minds open to opportunities. They are also emotionally ready to capitalize upon those opportunities.

In conclusion, I will leave you with this simple thought. You are only warden over your mind. You hold keys that can free your mind to see all of opportunities out there.

Remind yourself of your dreams. See yourself for what you are today. Plan for your transition to success. Execute that plan and then allow your mind to be free and open to all of opportunities that come along.

To success of your business!!!

* Settlement fees. Does company charge to cut you a check each pay period, or to wire transfer your funds to you?

* How much is reserve? A 'reserve' is amount held back from each pay check as a "slush fund" against future refunds, returns, or chargebacks. What percentage do they hold as a reserve, and for how long? It's commonly 10%, 10%, held for 6 months before being released back to you.

* Pay frequency. Most pay either every two weeks, or once a month.

* Reliability. Talk to others who have used service to see if they've had any problems. If your order processor is 'down', your customers can't buy!

* Restrictions and limitations. For example, is there a minimum monthly sales quota you must reach? Is there a maximum product price you can set? Does company restrict what type of content you can sell? Do they handle only tangible or intangible products?

* Customer service. Does company respond promptly and helpfully when you contact them?

* 'Extras'. For example, are there reporting or tracking capabilities? Free use of a shopping cart?
