1) They don’t have a mentor: Everyone at every stage of business needs a mentor. Yet so many go it alone.


2) They do not have a mission statement and core values: If you do not have a mission statement that you can share with your employees, colleagues and vendors, you are leaving money on the table.


3) They keep bad employees: Unfortunately many entrepreneurs have a hard time firing employees. But keeping a bad employee is like spreading a disease.


4) They hire too fast: I see this all the time. Entrepreneurs need someone to help out so they hire fast and most of the time it is the wrong person.


5) They do NOT follow through: This encompasses everything from product development to marketing to business relations. I cannot tell you how many times I have had “colleagues” call me or email me ask me to either collaborate on a project, be a guest on a teleseminar or interview me for podcast and I agree to help or collaborate and then THEY do not follow through.
