Welcome to a new series – How Not To Start Your Business.

There are hundreds of books and blogs (including this one) that tell the budding entrepreneur how to start and run a business and many of them are excellent. Unfortunately the reality is that when starting and running a business you’re more likely to spend your time making mistakes, dealing with problems and generally trying not to screw up.

So this is the first post a new series of on my blog. The articles are about – not screwing up. There’s no single right way to run a business, but there are lots of wrong ways, by examining the mistakes that other entrepreneurs before you (myself included) have made, I aim to tell you how NOT to start and run your business. That way you’ll have a better chance of finding the right way to start and run your business.

Rarely do we like to admit to our failures, or the mistakes we’ve made, but by doing so we can learn from out mistakes and each failure then brings us closer to success.

If you’ve made a mistake in business that you think others should avoid and you’d like to share then please contact me and I’ll add your story.
