I don’t have a problem with making mistakes. In an entrepreneur’s life mistakes are life lessons. In only recent years have colleges and universities offered entrepreneurial classes. Traditionally we had to learn through mentors, readings and ultimately our mistakes. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and I offer them to you as a lesson to consider.
1. Having poor cash management:
Too many businesses operate on a shoestring; in fact the biggest contributor to business failures is lack of capital. I understand that all start-ups operate cash-poor, but there’s a difference between being cash smart and down right stupid. Don’t let finances rule the path of your idea. Time is always on your side so be patient with progress and plan, manage and always watch your cash flow.
