Most small businesses don’t fail because of bad luck - they fail because of predictable and avoidable mistakes. On this episode of The How of Business podcast, Henry Lopez shares the top five reasons small businesses fail, drawing on decades of experience coaching entrepreneurs and running his own small business ventures.

Henry Lopez explores the most common traps: launching with a broken business model, mismanaging cash flow, struggling to attract customers, doing everything yourself, and refusing to adapt when things aren’t working.

Whether you're just starting or already in business, this episode will help you evaluate your strategy, spot early warning signs, and build a more resilient business.

“These are common mistakes—and completely avoidable if you’re willing to be honest, stay flexible, and ask for help.” — Henry Lopez

Five Reasons Your Small Business Will Fail:

1: Lack of a Clear Business Model.

2: Poor Cash Flow Management.

3: Not Enough Customers (Weak Marketing & Sales)

4: Trying to Do Everything Yourself

5: No Adaptability or Stubbornness
