Make a Mistake in 2007? Hopefully You're Not on the List of the 101 Dumbest Moments in Business in 2007

We've all been there. You try something with your business that you think will take you to the next level only to find out that this ride is a one way ticket down the tubes. The folks at CNNMoney.com are so kind to seek on the 101 dumbest business moves of 2007 and put them all in a handy slideshow available at http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/fortune/0712/gallery.101_dumbest.fortune/index.html.

So when you look back at 2007 assessing your business sucesses and failures, take comfort in knowing that while you may have experienced lows at least you're not:
  • the owner / operator of the KFC/Taco Bell whose rat infestation was shown to the world on YouTube
  • the pilot of the Cosco Busan who struck the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge with an oil tanker
  • Johnson & Johnson who sued the American Red Cross for using their trademarked red cross logo
  • the doctors at a Rhode Island Hospital who were fined for operating on the wrong side a patient's head three times in less than a year.

This is just a sample of the 101 dumbest moments in business for 2007. Much like the experience of watching COPS on tv, you can't help but feel better about your own life.

Happy Holidays!
