Why Most Businesses Fail—And How to Make Sure Yours Doesn’t

The most overlooked reason small businesses struggle isn’t money. It’s mindset—and it’s fixable.

The #1 Mistake Business Owners Make

Most entrepreneurs start their business with strong technical skills—cooking, styling, cutting, fixing, building. But they carry over the mindset of an employee: serve the customer, stay busy, stay booked.

But business success doesn’t come from serving the customer directly. It comes from building a system that does.
