What are the top challenges small business owners face?

As a consultant to small businesses I think the challenges are (in order of importance):
1. Poor Planning
2. Improper utilization of their resources
3. Use of Capital

In their planning small business owners do not allow enough time for goals to be accomplished and they do not consider all the costs. They under or over commit resources to tasks and their business planning is inadequate.

I have noticed that successful small business owners have tight control on their spending, focus on sales, and spend a lot of time planning their actions before they commit.
