Being an entrepreneur, sets a tone for the way your business operates and these are clear signs that needs to be a ringing alarm for caution:

Saying no just because it costs: Do you say NO to things/changes, just for the sake it costs money without evaluating how it can bring a positive note to your organization?

Contentment: Are you content with the way things are and not striving to change positively every day?

Own way of doing things: Has your company set in its own style of operating and not willing to change to any other way of working?

Lack of experience makes you reluctant: The reason you are afraid of implementing new technology is your lack of experience in decision-making?
