Today is my 4th year in business.Instead of just bragging about my successes,I thought I'd share my biggest blunders as a founderso you can avoid them.Here are the four dumbest things I did:- I got too obsessed with one idea and refused to change direction even when it made no sense. Don't be like me - pivot if you need to!- I started chasing shiny new ideas and needed to remember about the main business. Rookie mistake, I know—goodbye growth.- I held on to clients who were more toxic than an overripe avocado. Listen, not every client is worth the money - trust me, your mental health and your team will thank you.- When things got stressful, I stopped taking care of myself. Pro tip: don't do that. It's hard to run a business when you're a walking zombie.So.. happy 4 years to us!
