It feels like every other day there's a post in here along the lines of "I'm starting a web design company, how do I go about creating my first website?" or "I'm creating a sales consulting firm, how should I obtain my first few customers?"

Or "I'm starting an accounting firm but I'm not sure what type of business to file under for the best tax breaks?"Or "I'm running a social media company but I'm not very good at driving engagement, what should I do?"I truly, truly don't want to be a downer... But the answer is you quit. If the thing your business is struggling with and you have questions on is the very thing you're claiming you're an expert at, you started the wrong company.Now there are of course exceptions and all sorts of legitimate questions that everybody has when getting a business off the ground. And there's certainly plenty of businesses you can start without actually knowing what you're doing. I'm not really talking about those odd scenarios. I'm talking about the people starting businesses based on being an expert at a single attribute or skill, and not actually having that attribute or skill.The consultants who have never done the thing they're consulting on.People who need help marketing their marketing business.The real estate investors selling courses on rental properties while only having a single unit under their belt.Aka: frauds.I don't know how we all got here, but I feel like I remember a time where people started businesses based on things they actually know how to do. Guys with at least 5-10 years experience in a field starting their own business doing that thing. Salesmen who are worth six to seven figures in their industry trying to move up to owning their own venture. People who majored in a field in college, worked in that field, then created a unique new product that they noticed the field was lacking.Lately it's just people who have never gotten more than 50k likes on a youtube video or 1k friends on instagram alleging to be social media masters, "pay us to improve your viral marketing campaigns!" When in reality, the last time they went viral they had to quarantine for a week and get a doctors note and two negative tests.And this also goes out to all the people posting in here about "what should I do as a business??" Simple. Take something you actually know how to do and try to charge for it. Don't jump into a new industry pretending to be an expert at something you've never even done before. Life will be easier, and you'll make more money doing something you know. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
