👉🏼 Look to other people's businesses and try to emulate what's working - which isn't a bad strategy when you're scouting examples of successful business models but when you're trying to communicate what makes your brand special 🚫🙅🏼‍♀️ {not so much}

👉🏼 Find yourself running a business that's centered entirely on selling a service with no deeper mission, creative direction, or sense of community

👉🏼 Become so overwhelmed trying to figure it out that you end up throwing your laptop off the nearest bridge
