Move out or move on,

 when no option is left? Students of Mathematics knows that every problem has a solution; and, even no solution is a solution. You do not need to be a Mathematician to accept this. The thoughts I am going to say here are outcome of a hard learning out of my personal life (details not needed) but this relates to business as well. Starting a business is first step but to take it to next level needs significant efforts. 3M = Money, Mind, Mass: you need to put in right proportion, at right time, at right places to keep it going. Often you succeed. However there is always a possibility of unknown. This unknown could be small, medium, big or giant to stop you.
