I launched my own boutique digital marketing agency six months ago, and while we've landed a few clients, I'm realizing I'm making several common business mistakes, like undercharging for our services, not having clear contracts, and trying to handle all aspects of operations myself, which is leading to burnout and inconsistent cash flow. For other solo entrepreneurs or small business owners who have been through this, what were the most critical early errors you had to correct to survive and grow? How did you strategically raise your prices without losing initial clients, and what systems or tools did you implement first to delegate tasks and create more predictable processes?
