    When people think about becoming an o/o. A good guage of their future success would be how they manage their home finances. Do you live paycheck to paycheck? Do you have 6 mnths emergency fund built up? How much debt are you carrying now, besides a house payment? Just like a truck, your home and family require maintanence. Your hvac system goes out today. Do you have 5,000 ready to replace it, if it can't be fixed? If your management skills at home aren't very good. Chances are your o/o business is going be just as disorganized.
