Jim said: Yesterday, someone asked me what was the most common mistake I saw small business owners making.
I was able to answer immediately, as I see examples of this literally every working day of my life!
The single biggest mistake I see people make, is that they believe they can carry on, with the same mindset, taking the same kind of actions and avoiding the same core disciplines, and that things will “just get better” somehow.
I concur. Spice it up a bit, always look for ways to appeal to your market; if that takes research, so be it. I read all the time, find innovative ways to bring new information to your door front. I must find ways to sell myself and if that's not prostitution I don't know what is. Nah, just playing but yes tough skin and a good sales is something you also need in making a business work. Ultimately quality should push them over the edge but you must reel them in.
