This morning I received an email from someone who is trying to save his floundering specialty gift store. As I read through the message, I just kept shaking my head from side to side; I’ve heard this same kind of story countless times.

Good list of points. It's always tough when you find a small business owner throwing money into their business to keep it afloat - effectively buying themselves a job rather than building a sustainable business. Equally it's great to be able to help those that realise and reach out for help.

I think a lot of small business owners are worriers, so perhaps number 7 is relative. Some entrepreneurs may worry incessantly so first you need to determine whether your worry is justified. I would, however, agree that pouring too much into a business with no clear return and without even being able to cover costs is always a bad sign. Don't ever let anyone tell you different!
