Go to business definition.
Think very hard about where your power umbrella is, too, that if it does extend into an area you're considering to go there because it's really attractive.
And then the third one is that if you don't have anything there and you still want to do something new, co-action's the name of the game, but understand that you're now into invention of a new business.

Oh, I love that.
Right.

No.
