The 5 Business Mistakes I Wish I'd Fixed Sooner

Hey friend,

Since I launched Productive Insights over 12 years ago, I've learned several valuable lessons.

And I spent way too much time learning them the hard way. If only I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have spent long nights on consuming endless courses (without creating anything), second-guessing myself, measuring the wrong things (vanity metrics) and trying to scale wayyyy before my business was ready for it.

In this YouTube video, I break it all down in about 6 minutes.

I worked really hard on creating an interesting video and shot all the broll myself so hopefully you find it more entertaining than previous videos.

Please reply and let me know what you think. I read every single response.

So without further ado, here are 5 business mistakes business owners make and how to avoid them.

I explain exactly what I’d do differently if I were starting again today.

My hope is that this saves you months (possibly years) of unnecessary struggle.

Hit reply and tell me: Which mistake feels most familiar right now?

I read every response.

Ciao for now,

Ash
