I like anything by the Eagles or Queen.

I would say my favorite is Bohemian Rhapsody. I love how the tempo of the music changes from slow to fast and back to slow again.

I started my fourth business two years ago and finally I holding on for dear life! When I came upon your article I couldn’t agree more with the statement about letting go of being a control freak. After our first newspaper article was published I had stay at home Moms asking to be a part of the very new business. I couldn’t believe the talent pool in our small town in Southern Maine. The more I let go of control the faster our company has grown. You are correct in saying you have to let people with certain strengths and talents take over that aspect of your business. If they are doing what they love within your business than it will show in a positive growth of your cash flow and also working environment.

It’s good to share – ideas, concepts, workloads, laughs, money, and accolades!!

This is a nice list.

I think 10 gets a lot of people in trouble. It’s hard to launch a business out of desperation, yet that’s what so many of us do.

We fall for get rich schemes or jump into something because we’re sure it’s the next big trend, when in truth we need to figure out what we’re good at, what we’re passionate about, and what has the potential to be profitable, and then put the time and energy into creating a worthwhile endeavor that combines all three. It has to be something we can commit to for the long run. Profits will come if you provide value, but they’re not going to be overnight.

Mistake #7 can destroy your business. Remember the old saying, “All work and NO play makes Jill a dull girl?” Balance is the key to success. Give me a “Spa Day” twice a month and I come out like gangbusters!!!

Another great post!
