Most new small businesses fail.  You've heard that, right?  It seems even more common within our industry.  But don't let it scare you. Some succeed where most fail.

He'll be sketchnoting some of the pitfalls of starting your own business and point out some simple budgeting ideas that will save you from learning lessons the hard way.
