 <\/p>\n

Every week I talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t. We talk about successes and failures. I spend time with both complete newbies and seasoned veterans, and everything in between.
\nI have a pretty fantastic job.
\nOne topic that comes up over and over again with both groups is mistakes made in starting businesses.
\nI was recently at a conference in Portland with 3,000 ambitious people, and dozens of conversations with both new and experienced entrepreneurs centered on common mistakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat do you wish you had done differently?\u201d \u201cWhat mistakes do people make starting out?\u201d \u201cI wish I hadn\u2019t…\u201d
\nThis guide explores the top 10 mistakes gleaned from these conversations…
\nWe also include quotes about the mistakes from some of our favorite minds in business. Grab a cup of cofee and pull out a notebook because at the end I\u2019ll include some ideas and links for next steps. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here we go…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#1 Waiting too long to launch a product or service<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

When you start blogging or podcasting to build an audience, it\u2019s easy to get stuck on the content \u201chamster wheel\u201d for months or years without ever having something for sale.<\/p>\n

There are a few reasons this happens.<\/p>\n

Some people are waiting for some magic audience size \u201c1,000 subscribers\u201d or maybe \u201c10,000 visitors\u201d or whatever your number might be.<\/p>\n

Some people just can\u2019t find the time to blog or podcast or make videos AND to build a product at the same time. It\u2019s tough.<\/p>\n

Some people simply talk themselves out of creating a product because they\u2019re afraid no one will buy it. They don\u2019t want to fail a er putting in so much time creating content.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, this is a fatal trap. If you\u2019re building a business, you need to address the biggest risk head-on. The biggest risk you\u2019ll face as a business is in creating something no one will pay for.<\/p>\n

Plus, you need practice at building and launching products. Your first one might not be all that good. The sooner you put something out there, the closer you get to sustainable revenue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

#2 Solving an unimportant problem<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

If the problem your business solves is important enough, you won\u2019t have to look hard for customers.<\/p>\n

Imagine, for example, if you had a cure for cancer.<\/p>\n

Businesses fail all the time because they try to solve a problem nobody really cares about.<\/p>\n

If you put your product or idea out there and nobody buys it, there\u2019s a good chance you should look for a more important problem, not a bigger audience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#3 Not listening to customers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

How do you know if the problem you solve is important enough?<\/p>\n

Listen to your customers. Really listen to them.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just listen to the customers who provide validation. Listen to the ones who ask for refunds or buy your product but don\u2019t use it. Listen to the people who tell you they won\u2019t buy, and find out why.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just pay lip service to your customers. You don\u2019t have all the answers, they do. There\u2019s a reason why \u201cthe customer is always right,\u201d because without customers you don\u2019t have a business.<\/p>\n

#4 Not being different enough<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

In most markets, customers have different options to choose from. If your business has competition, you have to give your potential customers a reason to choose your offer over another.<\/p>\n

I see this all the time with new bloggers. They jump into a popular topic and essentially mimic or copy what other popular bloggers are already doing. I suppose they think \u201cif it works for them, maybe it will work for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

But think about it from the reader or customer perspective. If they find your blog, they\u2019ll be asking themselves \u201cwhy is this site worth spending any time on?\u201d You have to answer that question quickly and clearly, before they click the back button.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t expect to grow an audience by being an inferior version of some other better known site. Even if your site or product is arguably better than the competition, \u201cbetter\u201d is subjective.<\/p>\n

Instead of simply trying to be better, you need to be different. Then, when someone asks why your site or product is worth her attention, your answer will be objective and easy to understand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#5 Choosing a topic you don\u2019t care about<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Whatever you choose to focus your business on, you\u2019re going to need deep subject knowledge, fresh creativity, and unwavering stamina.<\/p>\n

There will be competition who cares more about the topic than you do. How can you compete if the gap between your love of a topic and your competitors\u2019 is wide?<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean your business has to be your #1 \u201cpassion\u201d or life\u2019s work (most of us don\u2019t have one single passion in life), but don\u2019t make things impossible by choosing something you don\u2019t care about.<\/p>\n

If you love your topic, stamina won\u2019t be an issue. If you love your topic, creativity will allow, and influence will be easier to build.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#6 Starting with vastly wrong expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

This won\u2019t be easy, and it won\u2019t be quick.<\/p>\n

Building a successful business is a massive undertaking. You probably can\u2019t do it while traveling the world. If you have a full-time job, it will be much, much harder.<\/p>\n

If your plan involves four-hour workweeks, or if your timeline is measured in weeks or months, you will probably fail.<\/p>\n

These are the hard truths that people rarely talk about. Overnight successes don\u2019t exist. Your original plan will probably have to be completely re- written, maybe multiple times.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: will building this business still be worth it if it takes years to get there? What if building the business is harder and more stressful than your current job?<\/p>\n

Talk to some entrepreneurs who have achieved something close to what you want to achieve. Ask them what it really took. Ask them about stress and timelines and giving up. Ask them not to sugarcoat it. Really listen. Then ask yourself if you\u2019re prepared for your own version of that.<\/p>\n

#7 Too much thinking, not enough doing<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u201cGenius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not much to say here that isn\u2019t perfectly summed up in that quote from Thomas Edison.<\/p>\n

If your ratio of thinking-to-doing is anything less than 80% doing, think again. Do more.<\/p>\n

As Chase likes to say, entrepreneurs have two modes, CEO mode and worker-bee mode. In a one-person business, you have to be both.<\/p>\n

Comfortably transitioning between these two modes is key to making steady progress on your business week a er week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#8 Going it alone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

The only reason my business exists today is because other entrepreneur friends wouldn\u2019t let me quit. Seriously, I tried to throw in the towel and start over with something else, but they wouldn\u2019t let me. They talked me out of it.<\/p>\n

No one can succeed in business alone. You need people to make it work. Your customers are people, your suppliers are people, your service providers are people.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, you need support from other entrepreneurs who are at similar stages as you are, and from others with more experience.<\/p>\n

The more connected you become with other entrepreneurs, the more normal your quest becomes. You\u2019ll no longer feel crazy or alone, and you\u2019ll realize that we all face obstacles just like you\u2019re facing.<\/p>\n

The entrepreneurs who talked me out of quitting were part of a little group that met weekly to hold each other accountable. It didn\u2019t cost any of us a thing, other than an hour of our time each week, but it turned out to be the most valuable resource I ever used in my business.<\/p>\n

Reach out to another entrepreneur or two, and ask them to meet weekly. Share your struggles and goals, and review your progress each week. This simple process is so powerful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#9 Confusing a blog with a business<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Repeat a er me: a blog isn\u2019t a business. A blog isn\u2019t a business.<\/p>\n

A blog is an incredible platform for sharing your ideas, connecting with people and growing an audience. The same is true of podcasting, YouTubing, or any other place you might publish content for free.<\/p>\n

Giving away free content isn\u2019t a business. It\u2019s a tool for building influence. Don\u2019t count on turning that influence into sponsorships or advertising dollars. You\u2019ll need a more direct plan for earning an income if you want your blog or podcast to pay o .<\/p>\n

See mistake #1 in this book about launching a product\/service<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#10 Not starting at all<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

This is perhaps the biggest mistake of all. Don\u2019t be that friend who talks and talks about starting a business for years and never does anything thing about it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to get so worried about all the possible mistakes that you never get started at all. But that\u2019s the only way to guarantee failure.<\/p>\n

Starting a business isn\u2019t a sure thing \u2014 it takes guts and intelligence and heart and hustle \u2014 but you will get better over time ONLY if you start.<\/p>\n

The best way to ensure you\u2019ll succeed is simply this: don\u2019t be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are part of the process. So dive in, get started and find a community to support you… because you are not alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

# 11 Only Having An “Introductory”Priced Offer<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you only have a low end priced product, like a $27\/$47\/$97 or even $497. You are not going to be able to “make it” long term with your advertising. In order for you to “play the long” game. You will need to have “High Ticket” offers. Meaning you are set up to earn thousands in commissions, from just one sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#12 Not Building A Mailing List<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever heard the term “the fortune is in the follow up?”. Online it couldn't be more true. To see an example of a high converting capture page to build your mailing. Click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

#13 Getting Into Paid Advertising With The Wrong Mindset<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a nutshell. The key to a long lasting sustainable business online. Is being able to turn $1 into $2 or more. How you do this? Paid Advertising and Conversions. The thing is. We see 9 out of 10 new business owners going into paid advertising with the losing mindset of “The Lump Sum” method. Meaning they have a limited “one time” budget expecting success. The truth is, it takes months in one method to master the conversions. So you must be able to invest in that one marketing strategy over and over again, until it's mastered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
