If you knew the three biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when starting their own businesses, you could avoid them. 

In today’s episode, host Mandy McEwen sits down with Adam Lyons, founder and CEO of The Smart Blueprint. Adam loves acquiring new companies, but he quickly realized he was reinventing the wheel with every new acquisition. So he sat down and developed a program of SOPs, an easy-to-follow blueprint that works every time, no matter what kind of business you want to buy. Since he came up with The Smart Blueprint, he’s helped almost 2000 business owners apply them with great success. Adam believes most businesses fail because they’re making one or more of three huge mistakes.

Listen in as he walks us through those mistakes, shares practical tips for avoiding them, and tells us what to do instead.
