The Entrepreneurial Mistakes No One Talks About – Tyler Jorgenson

You know that feeling when you think you've made it—your business is up and running, things are scaling, and success is finally here? Yeah, I had that too… and I was so wrong. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my entrepreneurial journey and share four massive mistakes I made when scaling my business. These were not just expensive—they cost me time, energy, and opportunities I didn't even see coming.

From failing to build a brand to chasing shiny objects and losing focus, I break down what I did wrong and what I would do differently today. If you’re serious about building a business that thrives long-term, learn from my missteps—so you don’t have to make them yourself.

And stick around, because in the next episode, I’ll share the one mindset shift that finally allowed me to scale multiple businesses without sacrificing my freedom.

-Don’t just build a business—build a brand that can evolve with you.
-Learn storytelling early. It’s your most powerful tool for connection.
-Use your network—don’t let pride or fear keep you isolated.
-Multiple income streams are good, but only if they align with your core mission.
-Shiny object syndrome is real—learn to say no to protect your time and vision.
You don’t have to start over every time. Scale what's already working.
