Nicolas Korvessis covers five mistakes new entrepreneurs make: overthinking instead of acting, polishing your website before you have customers, taking courses without applying them, waiting until you're profitable to advertise, and delaying other key moves. Start small, take action, and spend money on ads once your first client pays.
These are 5 mistakes that new entrepreneurs make that almost always will hinder their success in their business. The first one is overthinking. People tend to overthink a lot, and I totally get it, but having too many decisions actually ends up being a problem, especially when you're trying to start a business. So don't overthink the small things, just take action. The second one is not to worry about a website or your social media too much, especially a website. I think people really get drawn into wanting to make a cool, fancy-looking website, After like 5, 6 years in business, I've only now finally started to really put some branding and resources behind my website. But before that, it really doesn't matter. The third one is that I see too many people reading and not taking enough action from the things that they're learning or they're reading. It is really great to get into a course, find a mentor, or read books to learn, but if you're not putting that into action, it really doesn't mean anything. The next one is dismissing advertising. I think a lot of people will wait until they're making a ton of money to advertise for their business. But I think the second that you find a client and you get a client, you're making a little bit of money from your business, it's a really good idea
