One more important lesson I've learned is: Don't be afraid to cut your losses and move on. As business owners we sometimes feel that because we put a significant amount of time and/or money into something or someone, we have to find a way to make it work even when it clearly isn't. More time and resources end up being spent on "fixing" whatever isn't working when our efforts need to be focused elsewhere. These couldn't be more true.

Especially #19. Follow-through is so important in so many ways as a consultant--and as an employee I might add. I found myself thinking as I was reading this list that it's not really just for entrepeneurs--a lot of the lessons/tips apply to everyone. <br><br>Oh, and congratulations on your wonderful success.

Giving should be part of your corporate responsibility from day one. Make it a part of the budget if you can but it doesn't have to be money -- think outside the box.
