Over the years I’ve made many mistakes, and that's why it’s easy for me to spot them now. Through listening to the stories of other coliving founders and observing their businesses, I thought it might be beneficial to write these mistakes down and share them here.
You’ll find them listed below in order of importance from greatest to least.
Nobody is perfect and you will surely make some of these mistakes yourself even after reading this article. Remember, mistakes can be amended and you can be still successful, however, some of them are critical and can change the destiny of your venture. Good luck!
This article is part of the guide where I'm sharing tips on starting a coliving business.
