What Didn’t Work in My Career (and What I Learned) 💼💥

Early success can teach you the wrong lessons. I made a lot of mistakes when I was starting out—and I want to share them so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

From expecting everyone to match my energy, to under-communicating with my team, to thinking I could build a business alone… to believing the money would always flow. 🚫

Each misstep cost me time, money, and peace of mind—but every one of them taught me something powerful:

✅ Lead people as they are—not as you are
✅ Say it more than once—communication is everything
✅ Don’t do it all alone—the right people elevate you
✅ Prepare for the storm—your future self will thank you

If you`re just starting out—or even if you`re years in—these lessons are for YOU. Learn them now, apply them fast, and keep growing.

Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they lack passion or a great idea — they fail because of preventable mistakes.

When I started my journey, I thought hard work was enough. That people would automatically match my intensity. That money would always come in if I stayed busy. That I could do everything myself. Spoiler: I was wrong on all counts.

After two decades building businesses, here’s what I’ve learned: success isn’t just about what you do right — it’s about avoiding what others repeatedly get wrong.

🔥 In this post, I break down 5 of the most common mistakes new entrepreneurs make and more importantly, how to avoid them.

From poor communication and unrealistic expectations to financial blind spots and going solo for too long — these aren’t just errors, they’re silent killers of momentum and culture.

If you’re building something from the ground up, don’t wait to learn the hard way like I did.

✅ Learn from others.
✅ Lead with clarity.
✅ Build smart from day one.

💬 Which one of these hit home for you? Drop a comment below and let’s talk about the lessons we’ve learned (or wished we knew sooner).
