Before you even start, get an idea IF they're really interested in pursueing
this endeavor.
This reminds me of a long time gambler (craps and baccarat) who I had
approached when I first found out about the deuces in 1990. When he finally began to
hear of various success stories around town, he came to me about 2001 and
said he was interested. However, he qualified this with a "I'll take a $100 and
take a shot".
I didn't want to waste my time and his if that was all he was willing to
commit to the project.
