Why Most Entrepreneurs Fail Before They Even Start

The hidden mistake everyone makes — and the untold truth behind consistent growth and success.

Many coaches and consultants make the same mistake:

They try to do everything out of FOMO.

The result? They spread themselves too thin and end up serving no one — or almost no one.

An example?

A consultant handling business transitions, mergers and acquisitions, process restructuring, governance, and HR — all at once.

Or, this coach, offering personal and family life, corporate, teenage, school, leadership, and team coaching.

Trying to do everything is the surest path to burnout. Not to mention bad service.

Especially if, on top of that, you’re handling prospecting, administration, service delivery, and follow-ups.

So, what’s the solution?

What Pat Flynn recommends.

1️⃣ Focus on a Niche:

Target a specific audience and offer specialized value. Build recognized expertise. This strengthens credibility (and your personal brand) while helping you stand out in saturated markets like coaching or consulting.
