1. Chasing too many ideas at once
Pick one business model and commit to it for at least six months. Jumping between ideas is the number one killer of progress. Focus beats strategy every time.
2. Consuming without executing
Watching courses and reading guides feels like progress, but it isn't. Execution is the only thing that produces results. Learn just enough to take the next action, then act.
3. Underestimating capital needs
Every business needs some capital. Plan for more than you think you'll need — unexpected costs are the rule, not the exception.
4. Ignoring the numbers
If you don't track your margins, ad costs, and inventory, you're gambling — not running a business. Know your numbers from day one.
5. Quitting too early
Most people quit right before the breakthrough. The first few months are always the hardest. Push through that period and the path becomes clearer.
