Starting a business is exciting, but many new entrepreneurs fall into the same traps. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them:
1. Trying to Do Everything Yourself
DIY is great in the beginning, but spreading yourself too thin leads to burnout. Outsource when your time becomes more valuable elsewhere.
2. Inconsistent Marketing
Posting three times one week and disappearing the next confuses your audience. Consistency matters more than volume.
3. Skipping Strategy
Jumping into ads or random posts without a plan wastes money. Always start with clear goals and messaging.
4. Overinvesting in Fancy Tools Too Soon
Expensive software is not necessary at the start. Free or low-cost tools work until you are ready to scale.
At GCG Marketing, we guide entrepreneurs away from these pitfalls and toward smart, sustainable growth.
