20.Spending too much. Purchasing items when you don’t need them, upgrading when
older version will do, letting suppliers talk you into things you cannot afford, and not budgeting.
21.Being unprepared for fluctuations in business. Boom times when demands are high as well as slow times when you are struggling to get by. (Put money away during boom times to prepare for slow times.)
22.Lack of diversification. If you only offer one product or service, losing it can destroy your business.
23.Reputation. While a good reputation will gain you tons of business, a bad reputation could close your business.
24.Cockiness. There is nothing wrong with feeling great about your products, services, or accomplishments. Just don’t let pride and arrogance destroy your customer relations.
25.Discouragement. Giving in to your feelings of discouragement, when things do not work out way you planned or succeed as fast as you thought. Also allowing others to feed on any discouragement you may already feel.
