The first episode of The 20 Hour Workweek Movement Podcast is finally here! We couldn't be more excited to share this with you and hope you'll stick around and take a listen. This week, we cover the six pitfalls to avoid when running a business and various strategies to help you avoid them.
WHAT 6 PITFALLS DO YOU NEED TO AVOID WHEN RUNNING A BUSINESS?
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we've encountered our fair share of issues when it comes to running our outdoor outfitter company, DIRO Outdoors.
While it didn't always feel great as we were working through them, looking back, it's all part of the learning process. Now that we are aware of what these things are, we can help other business owners expedite their learning process vs. having to go through the same issues we had to go through.
While we cover each one more directly in the podcast, the six pitfalls are:
#6: Thinking you know and understand your customer from day one.
#5: Doubting that your business model will be profitable.
#4: Choosing a product or service which you aren't motivated to deliver to your clients. Build a business based on your sweet spot. If you aren't motivated, you won't want to put the effort in to become successful.
#3: Not really focusing on your finances.
#2: Focusing on the wrong things—not stuff that grows your online business.
#1: Thinking that working longer hours will bring business success.
Throughout the podcast, we discuss each of these pitfalls and provide you with various strategies on how to overcome them. Remember, these are things we've personally experienced and we're happy to share with you how to keep them from hindering your future success.
