This is some good advice. You need to be properly prepared but you also need to have your head in the right place. You are essentially married to your small business after all. One of the best things I took from this was being willing to learn, all too often I've seen businesses start and soon fail because their owner/operators "knew better" than everyone else.

My sister opened her own coffee shop, properly estimating her skills at producing quality coffee but underestimating her ability to hire and train a restaurant workforce as well as manage the logistics of food buying. As a result, she went out of business a year later. Great advice.

I have been in business for three years now as a CPA and it seems I have wondering more and more what other people have done in their businesses that were mistakes as I consider my own mistakes. Thanks for sharing! Thank you for your remarks.

Just what the Doctor ordered in my case...Failure is NOT an option! I wrote my business plan 3 years ago and still find myself tweeking...even now, I've gone to a non-profit model to eventually fund my for-profit model strategy. My non-profit is Single Parent Assistance, Resources & Knowledge,Inc. and I hope one day to have a for profit spin for the "Career Seeking Single Parent". Thank you for your transparency!

I'm a firm believer that success is simply what it looks like when you are standing on top of a pile of your failures. Your story once again proves that concept. Your ability to first of all have the balls to do something like that and then to be able to sit back and reflect on it proves your success! Way to go, man! Wow, there is a lot of very savvy insight in your mistakes!
