How To Avoid Costly Mistakes

I’ve talked about it many times. You CANNOT start a business with no money. Why? Your time is money. It has value and you must invest time to get a business off the ground.

There are also other ‘unavoidable’ costs that come when growing, marketing and establishing your business. Check out this VLOG titled How Much StartUp Money Do You Need?  where I run down a list of costs you can expect at different stages of your business.

BTW: Having business expenses isn’t a bad thing. It means you’re growing, generating revenue and building a business (mindset shift!)

But, wasting money or making mistakes that cost in your business are more painful. Definitely not a good thing.  We can, however, minimize the risk of costly mistakes.
