Many people ponder the question ‘should I start my own business?’ at some point or another. Most never do much more than that. However, if you’re one of the more serious people contemplating the road of entrepreneurship, there are some specific questions you should ask yourself before committing to starting your own business.

Roger Stone mastered his political craft at the knee of impeached President Richard Nixon. He’s worked for several Republican presidential campaigns, spanning from Nixon to Trump, and waged a war of words against the Clintons.
