Play

Startup MistakesWant to know what really ‘chaps our hide’ about other small businesses we work with? Well, here are the top seven!

In this week’s episode:

  • Joel gets lost buying a DVD (how does that happen?)
  • Neil has no interest in Pintrest (what? Say it ain’t so!)

Our Seven Pet Peeves

  • Not invoicing clients (do your clients know how to pay you?)
  • Short sightedness (don’t burn your brand/reputation by only thinking about today)
  • No follow up (why won’t you call me back!!!!!!)
  • Being a ‘Yes Man’ (or Woman) (how does saying ‘yes’ too often tank your business?)
  • Mistaking Having money with Making money (just because your checkbook is full doesn’t make you rich)
  • Wearing ALL the hats (you can’t do it all alone – what to give up?)

 

  • Shout-outs to listeners (thanks for listening, guys!)
