In this candid video podcast episode, I open up about the 3 biggest mistakes I've made as a small business owner — lessons learned the hard way that cost me time, money, and stress. If you're an entrepreneur or aspiring business owner, these insights could save you from the same pitfalls!

Mistake #1: Not understanding taxes — I didn't set aside enough for tax bills, leading to scrambling at deadline time. Mistake #2: Partnering with the wrong people — Bad hires, subcontractors, and even clients drained my energy and resources. Mistake #3: Ignoring my numbers — Without knowing my finances inside out, I lacked confidence in pricing and nearly undervalued my services.
