3. Don't ask me for a deposit for a $400 job.
4. Don't use your home phone number for a regular business number.
5. Get a business number - either land line or cell phone.
5. Don't tell me you don't have a fax machine.
6. Depending on your business, write up a price list.
7. Don't be afraid to make a collections call.
8. Don't worry about telling a customer to take a hike.
9. If you have employees, don't get behind on payroll taxes.
10. Don't use your personal bank account for business. .
