h) Do you know the product/service very well? Do you have passion to produce that product or deliver that service?

i) Have you decided about the quality of the product or service? Is there differentiation among "good', "very good" and "excellent" product or service?

j) What will be measures of performance of the employees that you will employ? When their performance will be "good', "very good" and "excellent"?

k) What will be your recruitment strategy to recruit the "right" staff? What research have you done of job market to get the "right" staffs?

l) Will you take help of your near and dear ones to run your business? What will be their involvement? What "immunity" will they enjoy because they are "near and dear" to you?
