Erudite Relics of Loc Huu Ho

I realize that when you first started your business you may not have thought about EVERYTHING that would be involved with running a successful business, right?

You had a passion and interest in a particular product or service that you could offer and that you believed others would want. But there’s a LOT more to running a successful business than what meets the eye.? ?Here are some very common mistakes I see my clients and others I meet making every month in their businesses. The ones who end up being successful are the ones who REALIZE this and take steps to FIX their issues.? ?What mistakes are YOU making?
1. Not marketing to everyone you know
2. Not having a consistent follow up marketing system
3. Being afraid of networking and not learning how to overcome it
4. Thinking if you build it, they will come
5. Cutting back on marketing when times are tough
6. Lack of understanding of what types of marketing will work for your business and what won’t
7. Planning too much and not DOING anything or not taking inspired action
8. Giving up too soon
9. Not estimating enough start up costs and expenditures
10. Letting your own opinions about marketing get in the way of what you decide to do to market your business
11. Thinking you can do it all yourself and figure it all out yourself (you probably can but it takes much longer!)

19. Not continually learning about new techniques and practices
20. Not keeping up with technology to better build your business’ online exposure
21. Thinking that marketing is expensive or that ‘you can’t afford it’, you want to be thinking…’HOW can I afford it?’ with whatever investment you’re making…marketing, coaching, learning, etc.

What are YOU going to do about the mistakes listed here that you identify with?
I hope this gives you some things to think about but just don’t sit there and THINK about them, do something about them!
