2. Trying to do too much too soon.

If you jump the gun and attempt to launch too many projects at the same time, your limited capital will severely limit the time and budget that can be devoted to each distinct venture.

If you try to commence too many undertakings simultaneously, all that you will end up with is a bunch of projects that are all failing to earn and are instead costing you money.

Read the entire list and laugh all the way to the bank.
