Business Start Up Mistakes To Avoid

When I began entrepreneurship journey in late 2014, I was so green!  I had been looking for ways to work from home to spend more time with my children before they began school. Those years are so precious & fly by so fast...

Me and the hubs bought into a few programs, to see what was going to work. I bought into an MLM type business. For those that do not know MLM's are Multi Level Marketing strategy type of business. You just had to get your friends and family to sign up! Inevitably, it was one big pyramid scheme! Don't come at me y'all! MLMs are just not for me.

I won't drop the name of that particular business.... but don't worry I will drop the details on plenty of other things to avoid when starting out on a shoestring budget!

1. Avoid stressing about getting an LLC set up.
2.  Don't waste so much time worrying about things that aren't making you money. - I remember wasting so much time trying to make sure every single thing was perfect. When I should have been focused on building relationships and ultimately closing sales.
3. Don't make business decisions, if you are emotionally upset, drained, tired, burned out. Basically, you want to make all business decisions with a level head. 
4. Don't focus on tasks that are not paying you. Instead, focus on meeting people and building relationships. These are the people who may just become your clients.

Lastly, we all have or had to start somewhere. We are all going to have bumps in the road in our journey! Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart! Some days are much harder than others!
