Traps founders must avoid

Founders of entrepreneurial startups are most prone to run into following traps which are best avoided. 1. Run the streets without a plan.

Almost always one is in thick of things, doing, trying, missing, trying, doing, doing right, doing more. So when you're hired as Brand Manager, you'll never do less than that. Well you might double up for pantry manager is another t...
