Here are five “database” mistakes small businesses make. Each of these can significantly limit growth, particularly when a team is involved.

1. Trying to use MS Excel to do things it wasn’t intended to do
2. Using file folders to keep track of their information
3. Using sticky notes and random pieces of paper to keep track of their information
4. Trying to keep everything in one’s head
5. Sticking with a legacy system that no longer meets their needs

These will be fleshed out in future blog posts.
