Whether you’ve been in business for a minute or are still in the first few years, this episode is for YOU. Starting a new business is EXCITING, but even though I look back on my new business owner self with so much love and gratitude, I know the learning curve as you start your own business can be intense! Today, I’m going to share 6 crushing mistakes entrepreneurs make early on in their business AND how you can avoid them.

Not brand new in business? I highly recommend you tune into this episode because you may be making some of these mistakes too. They are definitely not exclusive to the first year in business! Especially since the latest stats show that after five years, 49.7% of businesses have failed but after 10 years, 65.5% of businesses have failed! So as someone who will be passing the official 7 years of business mark this month, I just want to say: I GET HOW THIS HAPPENS. There is no “safe mark” in the journey to entrepreneurship, but as you know, I’m here to help you every step of the way!
