8 Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make That Will Kill Their Business

Start Your Business in 30 Days Even If You Don’t Have An Idea

Here are the 8 mistakes that business owners need to avoid to increase their chances of success.

1) No Revenue- generating Business Model

Not having a revenue-generating business model right from start is one of the mistakes startups make.

2) Procrastination

Putting off doing something, calling, sending emails, or writing proposals into the future is dangerous.

3) Perfectionism

Having fallen into this trap before, I have learned my lessons. This is personality-driven. Introverted people are highly gifted, so want everything and all plans to be perfect. Sometimes 90% readiness is not even good enough for them.

4) Not Listening To Your Customers

You have to listen to your customers and know exactly why they are buying from you, to learn why they pay for your services.

5) Not Knowing The Competition

Every business has direct or indirect competition. There’s always someone who is doing the same thing you are doing or similar to what you are doing, that a customer can use as a substitute for what you provide.

6) Choosing The Wrong Investor

Be clear about the value beyond money that your investor adds to your business.

7) Making All The Decisions By Yourself

Early startups often begin with just a person. But as you grow you will find out that you cannot do it all by yourself. You need advice – some good advice.

8) Wrong Hire And Hiring Too Quickly

Don’t make the mistake of hiring people who don’t understand your company or its vision. Don’t hire people who are just looking for a job. They will kill your business because they don’t see the long-term goal of the organisation.
