By now you probably feel confident enough to tackle chaos when it hits—but what about where it starts? How does Chaos Inc. initiate the battle of good vs. evil and how can you keep it from getting the best of your small business?

These Seven Fatal Sins of Business Owners are truly the root of all that is evil. Take a look at my entrepreneur tips to keep you winning the sinner vs. saint smack down!


Healthy vices are one thing, but these sins are another…

As brave as many small business owners are, fear is a big culprit in their demise. Pair that with impatience and envy and you’ll find yourself focusing on others’ successes instead of your own.

Ignorance is not bliss in the entrepreneurial world, just like pride should be pushed aside. And oddly enough, the two complement each other pretty well. When you see one—the other is likely right around the corner.

Speaking of right around the corner, greed and gluttony can come hand in hand, too. Greed makes you forget how to be in love with the process of growth, while gluttony encourages you to bite off more than you can chew.
