Stupid Business Stories!

Everybody knows a stupid business story. It’s the kind of thing that puts a business out of business, or almost does. In every one of those stupid business stories, there is a lesson. That’s what we want to help our readers get. Find the lesson inside the stupid mistakes so they can learn without going through the pain of the mistakes personally.

Please post your stupid business story here. Remove the names to protect the innocent and the not-so innocent.
The story, if selected, will be part of a nationally-promoted book by Diane Kennedy, CPA and Rebecca Tervo, CPA. We’ll get you a copy plus give you credit for submission.
