12 Business Mistakes To Watch Out For

Have you always wanted to be your own boss & have a business?

For me … that was never the dream.

For years, I wanted to be a policeman (& kinda still do starting to watch Line of Duty on Friday … warning it’s addictive!).

Then I went from wanting to be a checkout manager; computer systems analyst, until finally deciding to climb the corporate ladder as a HR & learning development manager.

Well that was the journey I was on, until I went on a NLP course & a whole new path opened up, which changed everything!

As I mentioned last week, it’s now been 12 years since I hung up my tie & went after a new dream … one which was a relatively new idea for me.

So it’s fair to say, that being my own boss didn’t come naturally to me & I’ve over the years I’ve made a ton of mistakes (erm learnings).

I thought I’d lift up the cloak for you on 12 things NOT to do when growing your business & what I really wish I knew earlier in this journey.

To make it even more fun, I set a challenge to share these 12 things with you in under 12 minutes, over on the podcast.

Do you think I managed it? (Cause you know that when I get started … I like to talk ;))

Listen the podcast now & you can see which of these 12 insights you most need to hear today:

1. Help yourself & your customers by niching.
2. Don't worry so much, as what you'll start doing will change!
3. Ignore your Mindset at your pearl.
4. Don't worry about other business owners ... as we're all different!
5. Sell them what they want ... not what they 'need'.
6. A sale isn't a sale until the money is in the bank.
7. Your ideas are worthless ... actions are what count.
8. You'll make lots of mistakes & that's perfect!
9. Don't underestimate the power of relationships.
10. You can't please everyone, so stop trying to!
11. You'll want to give up at times ... that's natural .. but don't!
12. Don't let technology make you lazy!

Enjoy it & do let me know if it’s insight 3, 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 4, 12, 6, 8 or 10 that is that one you need to act upon the most!

Right … start the timer & let’s go!
