Mistakes that Entrepreneurs Often Make with Matt Haycox

The Hidden Entrepreneur Show with Josh Cary

In this episode, host Josh Cary is joined by investor and mentor Matt Haycox to discuss the mistakes that entrepreneurs often make. Matt shares his experiences of growing his net worth, losing it all, and building it back up. He emphasizes that many business owners lack knowledge and understanding, as the entry barrier is low. Matt offers insights into common mistakes and guides how to avoid them. Tune in to gain valuable advice on achieving business success.

Here are three takeaways you can expect from the episode:

1. Know what you're doing: Many business owners lack the knowledge and skills to succeed. The barrier to entry may be low, but that doesn't mean you should jump in without a plan. Take the time to learn and understand your industry, seek expert advice, and be willing to adapt and evolve.

2. Money isn't the solution: While funding can help, it's not a magic fix for a struggling business. Money will only prolong the agony without a solid plan and the right skill set. Before seeking funding, evaluate your business model, identify any underlying problems, and be willing to make necessary changes.

3. Network, network, network: Building a strong network is crucial for success. Start small and gradually expand your connections. Remember, you can only attract people similar to you, so focus on building relationships with like-minded individuals. Networking opens doors, provides opportunities, and helps you learn from others' experiences.
