True to Your Plan
One of the most difficult things about business is sticking to a plan and budget when exciting "opportunities" are presented. Likewise, when people are job hunting and an incredible "opportunity" is presented, some will jump at the chance to participate. But this is where entrepreneurs and job seekers may potentially find themselves in difficult situations.

So they may take a chance, and unwisely invest money in the offered opportunity or business idea. Others will waste considerable time chasing a job opportunity that proves to be disappointing at best case. These scenarios set the individuals back in time or even cause some to go out of business.
Remaining true to yourself and your plan is paramount before accepting any opportunity whether from a friend or new employer. Create lists of what excites you, what your inherent talents are, and your needs. Decide which factors are most important to you. Upon being presented with the next best opportunity, take the time to see if the particulars match with your preferred list. If not, decline the offer.
As a business owner, the ability to pay all of your bills must come first; everything else is secondary.

A chair at the desk is a requirement, but an ergonomic chair may either be a requirement or a luxury dependent upon the person doing the purchasing.

By remaining true to who you are, you will build your personal brand and ultimately your business. This is what puts you on the wave of the Smooth Sale!
