Billable work always takes precedence. You set your “development time,” then a client calls, and you schedule right over it.

Reluctance to invest. Consultants are often very conservative with their money and are reluctant to go into debt to invest in innovation or any kind of business change or growth.

Engineer mentality. You love developing, but neglect branding, promotion, and marketing. You don’t budget nearly enough for roll out and marketing.

Ready fire aim. You fall in love with an idea and chase after it without going through a rudimentary thought and planning process

Ready aim wait. This is the opposite of ready, fire, aim. You’re paralyzed by trying to know everything before taking action. Or, your work habits and thinking processes thwart creative thinking. Perfection is the enemy of completion.

Beat a dead horse. You stay with the idea far too long. It was good to start with, but you should have read the signs and cut your effort.
