Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The word startup seems to be used too loosely in this day and age. Some people think something built in a weekend or over the course of time on the side is a full fledged startup, when it is often just a side project. Building things is great, more people should do it and do it often.

The problem is, most people either take the leap at the wrong time OR they don’t take a leap at all, when the signs are there.

Here are the 8 things that I realized, which are telltale signs that you might be ready to turn your project to a full time startup.
