Last week, I read an interesting article called Common Mistakes Every Entrepreneur Should Avoid. All of the listed pieces advice are
excellent, and should be followed as best one can. I would advise you to read it.
However, keep in mind that making
mistakes, and learning from them, will be the best thing that can happen to
you and your business. This is how you learn, really learn, what works and does not work in your business world. Oftentimes, things that sound good in theory, or look good on paper, may not hold up in the cold light of reality.
This is no sin. This is how great businesses are built. But...if you repeat the same mistake twice, it might be time to look for something else to do. You shouldn't have to be hit with a hammer more than once to know that it hurts.
