THE FIVE DEADLY MISTAKES - #1


#1 Don't Go-It Alone!

I would consider myself to be an avid cyclist. I race my bike pretty frequently in the summer months. When friends ask me about cycling and racing they are generally surprised to find out that it's a team sport. A racer needs others from his/her team to help with drafting (sharing the work), strategy & tactics, bringing water, etc.

Starting a business is much the same. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of trying to do everything themselves when in reality, to be successful, it's a team effort. Even if you're low on cash/capital you still need to use your visionary leadership skills to create interest in your start-up business or idea. Tap into your passion to help communicate your concept to people that can help you, such as friends, family, other entrepreneurs, vendors, etc. Don't make the mistake of trying to "go-it alone." Get creative about rallying the troops and don't be afraid to reign in the ego and admit you need help. Someday you may be able to return the favor as you walk the streets with a wad of cash in your pocket!
