Sometimes I discover that two of my favorite people have crossed paths and are making a little music together.

This time it's my own business coach, Adam Urbanski of Marketing Mentors, Inc. and Denise Wakeman of The Blog Squad. In a blog post from Biz Tips Blog of a couple of days ago , titled "11 Internet Business Mistakes to Avoid", Adam describes eleven errors commonly made by business owners.

They are:

Mistake #1 - Not Treating What You Do as a Business.

Mistake #2 - Being Distracted by Too Many Good Ideas.

Mistake #3 - Not Selecting a Specific Niche.

Mistake #4 - Falling in Love With the Wrong Product Idea.

Mistake #5 - Falling for the Get Rich Quick Scheme!

Mistake #6 - Going Into It, Instead of Growing Into It.

Mistake #7 - Being a Copy-Cat!

Mistake #8 - Wasting Time and Money on Developing Pretty but Useless Websites.

Mistake #9 - Not Building Relationship with Clients.

Mistake #10 - Calling It QUITS Too Soon!

Mistake #11 - Being too cheap!

While his focus is on Internet Business, I believe that these are mistakes for ANY physician business owner to be aware of.

And if any of you have known me for a while, or attended my recent teleclass on "5 'Dirty Secrets" to Sleaze-Free Marketing", much of this will sound familiar. It's nice to have someone else do the nagging instead!

PS: If you want to avoid making these errors as you set up your new business or practice, or upgrade it, then consider registering for the 4-week The Entrepreneurial MD Marketing Mastery Program -- an affordable and very practical teleseminar created in response to the needs expressed to me by physicians who are struggling to attract "ideal" prospective clients or patients to grow their business, AND revenues!
