    I like it! I ran into #6 in my own business. Once I realized that, just because my business is web-based doesn't mean I have to always market it on the internet, my client base increased dramatically. There's something to be said for good old fashioned hometown, word of mouth, and hand-shaking.

    I'm not surprised you found one that applied to your own personal situation. This list is basically common mistakes that many businessowners make.

    Thanks for taking the time to read it.

    I think your post would be received more clearly by people if the title was "10 commandments of marketing success" and the list didn't have all the "nots" even though it's backwards of what the actual commandments are like in the bible.
