Heading straight out of college and entering the business world can be hard, especially if you have never worked before. There are so many new things to learn and so many new things to get a grasp of.
What you learned in college may not of totally prepared you for what you may experience in real life. With that being said, here is a list of seven worst mistakes to make in business:
1. Buying into your socialization: The nice girl attitude you may have learned growing up doesn’t work in business.
2. Lacking confidence: Showing a lack of confidence in yourself and your abilities may allow you to pass up profitable opportunities.
3. Having a poor professional image: Remember your professional image is your identity in the business world.
4. Trusting customers to pay their bills: Make sure you know who you are doing business with.
5. Displaying negative emotions: Displaying anger, being rude, or egotistical will lose you customers.
6. Failing to delegate: You need to delegate or you will never expand your business.
7. Not investing in yourself: If you are serious about your value, you will commit a certain amount of money and time to invest in your future.
