For me the biggest mistake is to dive into the sphere in which I have almost zero knowledge and hoping that I will get everything I need just in the process of running business. And it is not wise to ignore soft like this

• Insufficient market research
• Lack of a solid business plan
• Underestimating the financial requirements
• Poor financial management
• Neglecting marketing and promotion
• Trying to do everything alone
• Ignoring customer feedback
• Failure to adapt and innovate

• Lack of capital for the initial investment, including working capital.
• Unawareness of the market in which it will act.
• Ignorance of the legal and tax responsibilities inherent in the business.
• Lack of, or scarce, technical knowledge.
• Inaccurate analysis about the place of installation and commercialization.
• Little or no marketing planning.
• Financial unrest
• The mix of personal accounts with those of the company.

basically the lack of a well-made Business Plan.
Also, I would add: lack of mission and vision, which will be necessary to get the BP consistent and with a real plan and no idea of the target persona.

If you don t have a plan, consistency and commitment to improve every day the game is gone.

1. Insufficient capital for initial investment and working capital.
2. Lack of market awareness and understanding.
3. Ignorance of legal and tax responsibilities.
4. Limited technical knowledge.
5. Inaccurate analysis of location and sales strategy.
6. Inadequate marketing planning.
7. Financial instability.
8. Mixing personal and business accounts.

You mean that person has no idea of WTF they are doing?

If you have a good concept/or disruptive idea --and enough start up capital --you can hire (or contract) the right people with knowledge in these areas. Learning the above requirement list the hard way can take a very, very long time.
