I can relate to these

Wandering the 'Net, as I do, I came across a blog entry discussing 10 Stupid Mistakes Made by the Newly Self-Employed, and I found myself agreeing ...

    1. Selling to the wrong people.
    2. Spending too much money.
    3. Spending too little money.
    4. Putting on a fake front.
    5. Assuming a signed contract will be honored.
    6. Going against your intuition.
    7. Being too formal.
    8. Sacrificing your personality quirks.
    9. Failing to focus on value creation.
    10. Failing to optimize.
It's worth a read, even if you're not planning to go it alone any time soon.
