What are the obstacles to making your small business more successful?

by Mark on March 27, 2008

I meet all different types of business owners. Some new, some experienced and most somewhere in the middle.

They all have their challenges and their triumphs. They all indicate their success is held up by different things, and they all remark about different things that were obstacles in their past - things that they conquered to get where they are today.

I’m curious - what’s the one thing that you think is the biggest obstacle to making your business more successful?
