My Top 3 Small Business Failures (And How I Fixed Them)

from Green Industry Podcast

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. 🎟️ Equip Expo 👉 Save 50% off Equip Expo Ticket w/ Promo Code PAUL: Register Here 📚 Level Up Your Money (New Release) 👉 Get Your Paperback Copy! 🎧 Level Up Your Money (Audiobook) 👉 Listen on Audible 📲 Connect with Paul - Visit Official Website 🛠️ Paul's Recommended Tools & Professionals 📚 The Landscaping Bookkeeper – Know your numbers, stress less: thelandscapingbookkeeper.com 📞 CallRail – Track where your leads are coming from: callrail.com 📈 Lawn Care Launch: Click Here (new program for business owners) 🌐 Footbridge Media – Get a pro lawn care website: footbridgemedia.com 💻 Horizon360 – All-in-one contractor business software: gethorizon360.com 📦 Business-Building Resources by Paul Price Increase Letter Template Contract Templates 📚 Paul's Most Popular Business Books How to Build a Thriving Lawn Care Business: Buy on Amazon Cut That Grass and Make That Cash: Buy on Amazon Level Up Your Money (New Release): Buy Now
