With permission from Chris, we include in its entirety the sixth podcast episode in this series that deals with an overvidw and summary of the most common blatant mistakes made by the overly excited entrepreneurs when they are launching their startup business.
With the enthusiasm and passion for the idea of the product or service for the business, the entrepreneur may be under some of the common assumptions about other professionals that will be approached to assist in starting the business–such as marketing professionals, financial advisors or CFOs, legal counsel such as attorneys, etc.
As you will hear in this audio episode, Chris describes from his own experiences the basis for these assumptions, as well as the dire consequences that they can bring to the well-intentioned and innocent–but unsuspecting–entrepreneur.
However, Chris also recommends some suggesstions to avoid making these mistakes and delivering a setback for the business in its infancy.
We will also be posting additional episodes in the future from Chris Benjamin and his podcast that deal with the critical issues for the entrepreneur in creating the startup firm.
