I know there are times when I'd like to spend money on something for my business (say a new laptop), but know it's simply not in the budget. On the other hand I could pay for the laptop on credit and if it helps save me an hour or two a month the return is probably greater than the cost. Assuming I did something useful with those extra hours. Great point about knowing when to back off. You certainly don't want to throw money away and there are points where you need to see something isn't working. I think looking at it from an ROI point of view can help you see which of your investments are working well and which aren't. It’s an easy thing for small businesses to overlook.

I think a lot of people forget to look at what the potential returns are on the money and time they invest. One qualifier I would add, however, is that you also need to know when to back off if your ROI isn't where you want it to be. I've seen people continue with doomed strategies just because they'd already made an initial investment. Throwing more money at an idea that isn't going to work still won't make the idea work.
