This is so strangely open-handed of you to offer extensively what many individuals would have supplied for an e-book to end up making some profit for themselves, mostly now that you could have done it in case you wanted. The pointers as well worked to be the good way to know that most people have the identical fervor the same as my personal own to learn a good deal more in regard to this matter. I think there are many more fun periods up front for those who start reading your blog post.

I think the #1 that he left off was make a close to definite plan as possible (hard to do with it changing constantly) but don't spend too much time obsessing over planning to the point where you don't take action.

This doesn't mean that you SHOULD sell the business ... it's just that you should make it ready.

This guy sounds like hard work. He must have watched that scene out of glengarry glenn ross when alec baldwin reads the riot act (and actually says "coffee is for closers") a few too many times. see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-AXTx4PcKI I think some of what he says is good but then it depends what you're after (eg some people want to be serial entrepreneurs, so point 2 goes against that). And another famous saying, ref point 4, is "sales is vanity, profit is sanity and cash is reality". Horses for courses I guess. Blimey.

If you aren't making profitable sales, you are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. #7 is debatable- it really depends on the business. If you run a boiler room- fine, no one needs an office. If you have programmers, or people who need to concentrate to get work done- a locker room atmosphere probably isn't the best bet. #4 is dead on- if you are selling, and making profits, you can make lots of other mistakes and still be around long enough to fix them.
