Every week I talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what’s working and what isn’t. We talk about successes and failures. I spend time with both complete newbies and seasoned veterans, and everything in between.
I have a pretty fantastic job.
One topic that comes up over and over again with both groups is mistakes made in starting businesses.
Newbies love to know which mistakes are common so they can avoid them. Veterans love to talk about things they wish they had known or had done differently.
This weekend I was at the World Domination Summit in Portland with 3,000 ambitious people, and this topic came up dozens of times. “What do you wish you had done differently?” “What mistakes do people make starting out?” “I wish I hadn’t…”
So I put together a summary of the mistakes people shared with me, combined with the mistakes we see being made every week through our work with new entrepreneurs at Fizzle and elsewhere.
