Common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when starting a business
When entrepreneurs are just starting out, they are less concerned with the nitty-gritty details of the business. The trouble comes from a place where the details, like legalities, are left out of the picture. Setting up the legal side of your business is important so that, when things go wrong, you don’t end up broke and back at square one.
Another mistake is when people don’t do enough evaluation on the people they work with. Not doing your due diligence on getting to know your potential partners, workmates, or employees is a setback waiting to happen. Entrepreneurs need to see if the people they are going to work with fit the right position and not hastily team up for a business deal just because they have the same ideas about a prospective business.
The difference between building a business and building a cash flow stream
The main point that differentiates the two is centered on whether you are planning to exit the business on any level. When you are setting the business up to where you can sell it, that end will deem that you are building a business. On the other hand, if it’s going to be a constant hustle wherein the business cannot run without your presence, then that will lead you to a cash flow stream.
In the early stages of a business, it will always need more involvement for it to progress. But if your venture is not set up with a process where, in the long run, it can run on its own, you are building a cash flow stream.
Are you starting a partnership or a joint venture?
These terms mean different things depending on the business level. In the entrepreneurial world, a joint venture is considered as a glorified affiliate relationship where one party has a product to sell, and the other has something of value to the audience. One brings the content, while the other brings the audience.
In contrast, a partnership is where two people do complementary things that will build the business. It becomes a collaboration of activities, efforts, disciplines, and the like.
