Mistakes Are Your Capital: Turn Entrepreneurial Errors into Business Opportunities

Mistakes in business are inevitable, sometimes by circumstances beyond our control, and more often by our own making. The astute entrepreneur uses mistakes as steppingstones, turning blunders and gaffes into business opportunities, and becoming a sharper entrepreneur in the process.

Mistakes Are Your Capital: Turn Entrepreneurial Errors into Business Opportunities explores how to recognize lapses in the making, from simple miscues to more serious failures; their impact, how to avoid them, and how to capitalize on situations that can otherwise potentially harm you.

This book explores business mistakes, identifies them and offers up creative solutions across every business sector, from strategic planning, team building and marketing, to decision-making.

Turning errors into business opportunities separates the successful entrepreneur from one who might be more prone to knee-jerk reactions or wishing problems away.

As a Business Consultant with several decades of experience working with a multitude of businesspeople, managers, planners, dreamers and schemers, Jay Silverberg delivers hands-on counsel across every sector of business. The result is a keen knowledge of business mistakes, and an even keener toolbox of counsel, advice and fixes. As well, Jay Silverberg ‘practices what he preaches’, having founded and spearheaded a number of ventures, all with their share of real-world problematic hiccups as normally experienced by entrepreneurs.

Stories and case studies offered up in this book, including those gleaned from his own entrepreneurial adventures, are an integral part of the process by which readers can learn by example.
