There comes a time in every 20-something’s life when they question the stale, 9-to-5, cubicle way of life. That time for me was four years ago, before I was even a 20-something.
Instead of shoving my dreams inside of the “shoulda, coulda, woulda, but I didn’t” box that most people keep nearby, I decided to hit the unblazed trail with my youth travel show concept, #shutupandgo.
Ever since nailing my first few pitches that sent me and my business partner all over the States and Latin America, I haven’t regretted a damn thing.
However, back in the dark days, I had not yet passed business woman boot camp and my newbie tendencies probably scared off 50 percent of my potential clients, partners and investors.
Here are five rookie mistakes all young entrepreneurs make, and how to avoid them:
1. You send long, detailed emails
2. You’re too afraid your idea will get stolen
3. You over-network without making sh*t happen
4. You worry about problems instead of solutions
