As entrepreneurs we are known for taking risks. Sometimes the risk can be just what is needed to be successful. However, some risks may cause major mistakes for our business. I think it is vitally important to observe and learn from the choices of both successful entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs that have made major mistakes. Therefore, I found the blog of Jayson Demers, Founder and CEO of AudienceBloom, to be very interesting. In his blog he covers the nine common mistakes made by entrepreneurs. In his blog he also references a quote from a book by Eric Ries that says “I have learned from both my own successes and failures and those of many others that it’s the boring stuff that matters the most. Startup success is not a consequence of good genes or being in the right place at the right time. Startup success can be engineered by following the right process, which means it can be learned, which means it can be taught.”
