What are the "seven deadly sins" a small business owner can commit? Rachel Bridge has called us all out this week with a fantastic list of spots where start-ups cause themselves to, well, go south.
Are you committing a "sin" in your business dealings?
Check out this list:- Not researching your market properly
- Spending too much on adverts
- Not delegating tasks
- Not charging enough for your product/service
- Under-using technology
- Not committing to goals
- Not following through
Pop over to the UK's Sunday Times for the original list and how to pay penance for your "sins".
"Under-using technology "
In our part of the world, many people have a negative attitude towards technology. For example, in my own city Dhaka (Captial of Bangladesh), often I fail to convince people about the importance of having a website for a school or business organization. Their logic is something like this: "We are doing fine without a website. SO, what is the problem!"
