There are a lot of common mistakes made when starting a new business. One of the most common mistakes is not doing enough research. People often start businesses without doing enough research on the industry, the competition, or the target market. This can lead to a lot of problems down the road.

Another common mistake is not having a clear business plan. A lot of new businesses fail because they don't have a clear plan of what they want to do or where they want to go. They may have a great product or service, but without a plan, it's very hard to make a business successful.

Another mistake that is often made is not having enough capital. A lot of businesses require a significant amount of money to get started and many new business owners underestimate the amount of money they need. This can lead to financial problems down the road.

Finally, another common mistake is not being realistic. A lot of people have grandiose ideas about their businesses but don't realistically think about the amount of work that goes into making a business successful. It's important to be realistic about your goals and what you can achieve in order to be successful.

I think the common mistake is that a lot of people do not wait to learn about the business that they want to engage into. They don't wait to learn. They just want to start up a business and it is not done that way.
They need to know the gimmicks of the business and also learn every bit of it before starting it.
