The subject line comes from Charlie Munger, the wisest, most mentally balanced man in investing.

This concept is known as via negativa (the negative way).

In the case of growing your business, it means avoiding the things that will cause you to blow it.

Every entrepreneur that failed can look back and know which mistakes caused their business to run dry.

Instead of making hindsight be 20/20, why not flip it around and perfect your foresight?

So, the question of the day is: what are 5 ways to ensure that your business will fail?

Then, pin them to your wall and DON’T DO THOSE THINGS!
