Watch out for these traps and save yourself a lot of trouble
Welcome to the new order of doing business. Welcome to the age of everyday people monetizing their passions and lived experiences, buoyed by the power of the internet to help them sell their services.
Others also prefer starting small (digital) businesses by the side of their regular jobs. Mostly, they go solo. But going solo has its unique challenges.
I’ve also seen many little traps these solopreneurs fall into as they navigate their one-person businesses. Some of these traps could destroy all the progress you may have made.
That’s why it helps to avoid these costly traps at all costs. Here are some of the most common ones and ways to skip them.

I’ve seen many people waste time on all the many things that are nowhere near as important as the main task of running their business.
The chance to take that side business online has been one of the best things for small one-person businesses. But aspects of running your business online can be a trap.
