We look at 400 different qualitative aspects of the business, and what comes out of that for the client, is some sort of prioritized list of issues to do the tough things to make a better business out of it. We decided to make our own top 11 list of mistakes business owners make:
1 - One is they don't have a business plan, or if they do, they waste time doing one and then stick it in a folder.
