How to avoid common start-up mistakes

+
Entrepreneur magazine has an interesting article up right now, detailing the 17 most common mistakes new small-business owners make, along with some advice on how to avoid them yourself. It basically boils down to a series of simple yet crucial errors that you see mentioned in business books time and time again - overestimating revenue, underestimating costs, hiring friends who aren't qualified for their positions, etc. - although it certainly is nice to have them all contained in one article, instead of having to search through two dozen books for them.
