So you’re navigating the stormy waters of entrepreneurship?
Congrats, but listen up.
I’ve made mistakes that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
Mistake 1: I hired too many people, too fast, at too high a cost.
They said they’d “take me to the next level” – spoiler alert, they didn’t.
Guess what happens when you start making money?
Everyone wants a piece, and they’ll spoon-feed you sweet nothings to get it.
Mistake 2: I didn’t hire quickly enough for key roles.
A virtual assistant and a video editor would have been game changers from day one.
And now that I have them, they’re sticking around for life.
Mistake 3: I tried to impress other business owners instead of my bank manager.
I was building a trophy case, not a business.
I’ve learned: impress your bank manager and everyone else will follow.
Mistake 4: I spread myself too thin across platforms.
I thought being everywhere was the key.
It’s not.
Pick a platform, excel at it, and then consider branching out.
Mistake 5: I didn’t build an audience soon enough.
Audiences don’t sprout overnight; they’re more like a slow-cooked stew.
And when they’re ready, the payoff is like a Michelin-star meal.
So there you have it, five epic fails that I hope you’ll sidestep.
What’s the one mistake you’re most afraid of making?
