Many (still do some) -

- Not booking myself in advance. - Taking rush jobs. - Not limit myself to a set no. of hours - Absolutely no systems in place other than a Calendly meeting link that I set up very recently. - Not able to estimate the time I need to complete a task. - Not producing enough content so that I could get pre-sold, inbound leads.

e.g. I'm a direct response email copywriter and I've been told by many gurus & coaches to write emails on a daily basis and publish on the web. Yet, I've been slacking off.

Result? I've to reach out to prospects and try to sell them on myself. Not an easy thing to do.
