Rock Your Reinvention: Tips For High-Achieving Women Who Want to Successfully Exit Their Six-Figure Corporate Career

56: 5 Mistakes Female Entrepreneurs Are Making (and How to Fix Them)

Karin Freeland Episode 56

I’m diving into the 5 most common mistakes female entrepreneurs make and, more importantly, how to fix them. Whether you're just starting out or have been running your business for a few years, avoiding these pitfalls can save you time, money, and frustration. I share my personal experiences, so you don’t have to learn these lessons the hard way. 

This episode is packed with practical advice to help you set yourself up for a more aligned and profitable 2025. Ready to stop holding yourself back and finally see your business thrive?

Key Mistakes Discussed:

  1. Saying Yes to Everything – Learn how to discern opportunities and align them with your business goals. Saying yes to the wrong things could mean you're saying no to your freedom, balance, or values.
  2. Taking Your Corporate Persona into Entrepreneurship – Discover why adopting your corporate habits can lead to burnout and how to embrace your entrepreneurial mindset. What made you successful in corporate doesn’t always translate. 
  3. Trying to Do It All – Outsourcing can transform your business, but only if you do it strategically. You need to identify which tasks to delegate to foster growth.
  4. Working In Your Business vs. On Your Business – Balance is key. Are you spending too much time on client delivery and not enough on growing your pipeline? I’ll walk you through some examples of what to watch out for. 
  5. Outsourcing the Wrong Things – Outsourcing is great, but handing over your vision and leadership is not. It’s important to maintain control over the most crucial aspects of your business, including your finances, strategy and standards.
