Hello everyone , it's Victoria here and welcome back to another episode of A Business Built With Strategy . So this week we are talking about the biggest mistakes I see entrepreneurs make and how

Welcome and Episode Introduction

Speaker 1 0:16

to actually avoid these mistakes . So I keep seeing the same mistakes . They keep popping up all the time and they really are slowing people down . So let's break them all down and let's fix them . So mistake , one idea hopping .

Speaker 1 0:36

Now I would say we've probably all seen this and also some of us probably know that that's what we're doing as well . We keep changing offers

Mistake One: Idea Hopping

Speaker 1 0:47

, ideas , and we're doing it too soon , and this happens when there's no plan , there's no strategy in place , and it leads to like a million offers but no traction . The idea is that you have one clear offer and one clear strategy . That's the fix on mistake one One clear offer and one clear strategy . And the reason that people change ideas I should say such a lot is because they'll put their offer out there and within I don't know two hours they're like oh well , you know , no one's biting , so I'm going to change it . And there's certain people that I've seen on socials . Literally by the end of the month they've had 25 offers out there and because none of them are working because they haven't given them a chance . And then they begin to think , oh , you know what have I done wrong ? And really they haven't done anything wrong , they've just not given their offers a chance . So remember one clear offer , one clear strategy , and it's simple . It really is if you stick to it .

Speaker 1 2:06

Mistake two no plan , no strategy . Starting out with excitement but no roadmap is a recipe for disaster . You don't know your ideal client offer , pain

Mistake Two: No Plan

Speaker 1 2:21

point , anything , everything that is supposed to be on that strategy . You don't know . Or maybe you do know it , but you just have not put it down onto paper . And this leads to wasted effort . It's a waste of time .

Speaker 1 2:37

The fix for this was simple A plan strategy , client offer . A plan strategy , client offer , problem solution . That is your fix . It's very , very simple if you stick to it , like anything really , isn't it . So mistake three chasing quick fixes . We've all done it . I definitely have oh , that'll work . Or or you know you do , because I think it's a . It's actually a very natural way to think oh , I'll fix it this way , that'll do , instead of actually going the longer route and going . You know what ? I

Mistake Three: Chasing Quick Fixes

Speaker 1 3:16

need a plan here because this , this isn't going to work . It's like making a cake and cutting out half the ingredients . You're probably going to get not the greatest of cakes . You're really not Make 10k in six weeks .

Speaker 1 3:35

Promises that are everywhere . This is a quick fix . Everyone looks the same online . I've got to be honest , I'm sick of going online and seeing everyone as a carbon copy . I really am . Everyone looks the same , everyone's promising the same . Not many people online at the moment are actually offering something different . There are not many people . What are standing out ? I can probably name maybe five people that really stand out who are really different and they're successful because they are different and they have got a strategy .

Speaker 1 4:20

Real growth is not in gimmicks . I mean , it really isn't . The fix to this is consistency . Beats shortcuts . You will be promised by so many people at the moment oh yeah , if you do this , you do that . No , it just doesn't work .

Speaker 1 4:42

Consistency does Mistake four quitting too soon . Mistake four quitting too soon . The thing is people get discouraged and they give up . So you've got to strip it back . What is the idea , what's been done and what is next ?

Mistake Four: Quitting Too Soon

Speaker 1 5:04

Often , confidence competence is the block . You have to really think about that . Often confidence , not competence , is the block and the fix to this . Rebuild your confidence and keep moving . It's so important you need to . You need to do that if you feel it's taken a knock , because what happens ? You quit and really you just haven't given the thing a chance . So , recapping on everything I've said Idea hopping , no plan , quick fixes , quitting the golden rule is consistency , strategy plus confidence . Keeps you moving .
