Not trusting your instincts which are normally right.

Not bringing your new website for review and constructive criticism specially at WA . .

Assuming it's all about the techniques, processes & tools and forgetting that people are the most important part of the equation

Not knowing your “Why are you building this business?” strong enough to make your “How to succeed with your business?” (Having Big Dreams more than the tangibles, Giving us the passion to Succeed)

Tidbitz: Here is an easy one, replying to a group email and accidentally leaving the customer on it when it was internal only.(hehe, have you ever experienced this one . . . on the course of creating your website or specially in the corporate world! )

I'm not even a rookie yet...I want to get into the trainings yet! Need someone to give me a chance!!! Lol . . .
