John,

This was a great find. I would like to reword it to apply to other businesses. The same principles apply. Of course, I would give you credit.

I’m just starting out as a freelance writer (as in, I have nothing published yet other than a spiffy blog) and I’m very grateful to have found your site! I could see myself making several of these mistakes if I’m not careful

Oh dear. It seems I fail more than succeed. I guess it’s time to get researching.

Thanks for the candid assessment Sandra. Maybe that should be a question. How do you rate on the failure scale?

Thanks for writing this (seriously).

I am now painfully aware that I’m at about 50/50 here…. Shite.
