Starting a Business - mistakes for business start ups

From Arbor Law I found a link to this 1996 article: ENTREPRENEURIAL DEATH TRAPS. I agree completely with the description I found at Arbor Law:

1996, you say? Yes, it’s from the go-go days of the dot com boom. In internet-dog-years, this is the equivalent of advice from 2000 B.C.

Some advice from 2000 B.C. is very valuable.

I have seen quite a few of the death traps in operation, read about a few of the others, and I can admit that #20 fits a situation I found myself before 1998. If you are thinking of starting a business, if you just starting a business, or if you have a business, read this article.
