Many people don't think about being the one stuck in the back kitchen running the dishwasher because he didn't show up that day. How are you going to run a resturaunt from there? I agree.

I am a BIG PICTURE person and so I find it soooo easy to gloss over the minute details of the day-to-day. It is so important to know what you'll be up against. This doesn't mean that you can't necessarily run a particular business if you don't care for the day-to-day, but it does force you to think about HOW you want to run your business. Can you delegate tasks that you may not love? Do you need to give yourself a time limit and a plan in terms of how long you might be involved in the day-to-day. Having worked in retail for several years and after having managed hundreds of people, I recognize the value in rolling up your sleeves and getting to know the day to day intimately. Once you've done so, you can train others, transition yourself out, and get back to managing the business! This is a fantastic tip!

I think we all tend to glamorize certain industries or "jobs" because the grass always seems greener. Whether you want to work in fashion (which behind the scenes is decidedly unglam) or other business that have a certain perception but different reality, I think Nada is right to look a little deeper...see if you can spend a week, month, year apprenticing with someone who does what you do. Often the struggles are invisible to outsiders--but once inside, you can truly decide if the fit is right for you--and if the sacrifice it takes is what you're game to do. This is such a great tip.

It's so easy to gloss over the tougher, less glamorous parts of a new endeavor simply because we're so eager to dive in. Doing research and taking a very close look at what's truly involved on a day-to-day basis now will save you potential disappointment later.
