Turning an offer down last minute

None of the above!

I did say it was Niche!

My point is not to pin your hopes on a "startup that could make millions". It almost certainly won't. In fact, it's such a long shot that you may as well stick an extra £5 on the lottery every week instead. Just as much chance of hitting the jackpot with a hell of a lot less effort and stress.

What kind of F*ing logic is that?

And why fear failure? I've had to fail several times before the chance of succeeding increased to about the 50/50 mark which is where I am with my next startup attempt....

The fact is he probably thinks I'm talking about a small app or something piece meal, which I'm not.
It has not being implemented within a company yet, but they have come close a couple of times.

They are just at the stage of providing a few limited trials etc.
Its interesting and has actually made her more employable for one, its not all about the big bucks, as I said earlier.

Right so I had the meeting and clients are very interested. The problem is I'm running out of time.....

How best to ask them to hurry up and make a decision? (Bear in mind this isn't General!)

You sure you are cut out for this?

I'm probably not to be fair, but I always give it a go anyway - it has got me so this far so why stop!?

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Got side tracked from what I was initially asking!

Turning down an offer last minute despite not actually signing it and with client expecting you to come on board....

Surely not cool. I wouldn't like it to happen to me. On the other hand you haven't actually signed so from their perspective job isn't in the bag....

[northernladuk]

Correct on both counts.
