10 Regrets Most Entrepreneurs Eventually Face


Having your own business is a gratifying experience. As entrepreneurs we are forced to make decisions every day from left to right and vice versa; even though sometimes time isn’t on our favor. As everything else it has its good moments and some stressful and regretful days.

We want to focus on the missed opportunities that make us regret how we approach some aspects of our business.

1. Moving too fast
There is nothing wrong with having big aspirations, but trying to get there too quickly might be a risky move and cause your business instability.

2. Playing it too safe
Be innovative! Entrepreneurship is about taking risks and investors are willing to take them.

3. Burning Bridges
In the world of business it is important to network every day and to preserve all your relationships.

4. Focusing on a product instead of a consumer
The idea is to make your clients happy while producing a quality product.

5. Putting off company culture
The faster you do this the better results you get. Establish a foundation for the culture you want to build.

6. Not seeking a mentor earlier
Some problems need to be solved with different perspectives.

7. Holding on too long
Don’t be afraid to abandon your ideas and move on to better things. Letting go is hard, but it’s often the only choice.

8. Not asking for feedback
The only way to grow knows what you are doing right or wrong. There is always room to grow.

9. Not taking enough time off
Work to live, do not try to live to work.

10. Neglecting to live in the moment
As a business your main goal is to increase your revenue, but as a human being you want to have as many great moments as possible with the people that surrounds you.


Most entrepreneurs have been in the same position; therefore you shouldn’t focus on regrets and cherish the good moments with your team. Entrepreneurship is challenging and an exciting career, so remember from every negative experience there is a lesson to be learned.
