"Imagine, owning my own business…I’ve always wanted to have my own restaurant. Uncle Joe just left me $50,000 and the cafe down the street is for sale, and they’re only asking $40,000. That's perfect and I’ll have money left. How hard can it be - buy the restaurant, hire some people and open the doors, right?" WRONG!!
By now, you have probably figured out that owning a business, any business, is not for the weak. After more than a decade of helping business owners in the various facets of business – from start-up to close-up – I’ve been able to develop a list of what I consider to be the top 37 mistakes that business owners make. I thought I would share 5 of the "simplest" and yet most common.
