  1. ERIC TIPPETTS: ERIC TIPPETTS: 5 MISTAKES 5 MISTAKES ENTREPRENEURS ENTREPRENEURS SHOULD AVOID SHOULD AVOID IN 2025 IN 2025

  2. 1. IGNORING CUSTOMER DATA AND FEEDBACK Eric Tippetts warns that sidelining real customer data leads to costly product mismatches. Use listening tools, rapid surveys, user interviews, and clear analytics to iterate quickly and make decisions that resonate with customers. Treat feedback as a product compass and act.

  3. 2. OVER-PRIORITIZING GROWTH OVER PROFITABILITY According to Eric Tippetts, many startups chase scale without sustainable unit economics. Prioritize repeatable revenue streams, healthy margins, and disciplined burn rates while testing new markets methodically. Sustainable growth attracts better partners and improves valuation over time.

  4. 3. NEGLECTING TEAM CULTURE AND RETENTION Eric Tippetts emphasizes that talent is an enduring advantage. Build transparent communication, invest in professional development, and create recognition systems that retain key people through growth phases. A cohesive culture boosts productivity and fuels long-term innovation.

  5. 4. CHASING EVERY SHINY TREND Eric Tippetts recommends filtering trends through your company’s mission and capacity. Adopt technologies that align with your strengths and pilot small before wide rollout to preserve focus and resources. Strategic selectivity keeps teams aligned and customers satisfied.

  6. 5. UNDERINVESTING IN CYBERSECURITY AND COMPLIANCE Eric Tippetts highlights that regulatory or security lapses can erode customer trust overnight. Implement basic cyber hygiene, regular audits, and incident response plans to protect data and reputation. Even small investments prevent costly fallout later.
