4 Mistakes Entrepreneurs Are Always Making

We’re in a world and a time where everyone with an idea thinks they are an entrepreneur
We’re in a world and a time where everyone with an idea thinks they are an entrepreneur buts what’s more, every entrepreneur thinks they have what it takes and that they are somehow reinventing the world around them. When sometimes they’re actually reinventing the wheel. Don’t be one of those. As you get started on your journey with us with our award-winning Business-In-A-Box solution for starting your own mobile app agency business, remember the importance of being agile, able to change direction and continually invested in learning and innovation.
Take a look at some of these common entrepreneurial mistakes to avoid…
Solving Fictional Problems
Some people are great problem solvers, the problem with them is they spend time solving problems that really don’t even exist. It’s a thought process thing. You see, most innovators seem to start with an idea they’ve had. When really the trick to creating something people really need, is to start with a problem. What problem is your intended audience facing and how can you or your product solve that for them? That’s where real worthwhile ideas come from, not just from a random spark.
Greedy for Growth
There isn’t an entrepreneur alive who doesn’t thrive on the idea of growing their business or their idea. In fact, it’s what makes many business owners tick. The issue though is that while tempting, rapid expansion and growth causes its own issues. Particularly if that expansion is into new areas to support opportunities you’ve discovered along the way. Expanding too fast can leave you open to increased overhead costs and a loss of focus on your initial promises and customers base.
We would never suggest you miss a chance to grow, but make sure it’s intelligent rather than hasty.
Leaving Marketing Until Last
Early on many businesses acquire customers through vigorous networking as well as the investment process and the various directors little black books. What then tends to happen is that the brand’s actual outbound marketing ends up being left on the back burner while the business focusses on internal expansion.
It’s vastly important to start creating a feeding a pipeline of potential new customers as early on as possible to ensure the business genuinely grows with new clientele rather than just in size and ambition. Prioritise that marketing strategy meeting!
Being a Cheapskate
No new business or start up likes to spend money, but it is important to understand that you are going to have to. Marketing, data, research, great people in the business, they all have a cost. Being too cheap in these areas will come back to bite you and it’s a mistake seen over and over again. You really do get what you pay for so be prepared to pay for the good stuff.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch.
