I recently published an article on Entrepreneur.com where I focus on four mistakes that you may be making in your business right now and are easy-to-fix if caught right away. I wanted to tell you about this post here, and if you like what you see, you may like to read the rest.

Anyways… this is how the post begins

Success comes in many forms, but the journey to get there is rarely a simple one. There are ups and downs, twists and turns, and often an ongoing struggle of trial and error before you find success — whether it be personal or professional.

There is no “one size fits all” solution, and if you were to speak to a hundred successful individuals, they would cite for you a hundred different approaches. Yet, despite this array of issues, there are trends and patterns we can all use to our advantage, including examples of how successful folk have approached mistakes and failure.

In fact, the truth is that those you admire have built a career on the backs of mistakes and failures, learning from them and progressing a little further each time. They are no different from you and me; they are not immune to obstacles. What’s different is that they use these obstacles to their advantage.

I realized this after interviewing 163 entrepreneurs for my latest book (The Successful Mistake) about how these individuals transformed past mistakes into subsequent success. They taught me that mistakes happen regardless of money, fame or fortune, and that it’s your job to turn things around (and spot these issues before they have a chance to build).

From the anecdotes my interviewees shared, I want to share four such mistakes that you may be making right now. If you happen to be making one or more of these errors — and you allow them to continue — they potentially could transform into business-threatening failures.

If you catch them beforehand, however, they’re all often easy to fix.
