Starting a search is exciting, but it’s also easy to go wrong initially. Some people spend months chasing the wrong industry. Others delay outreach because they want the “perfect” prospect list. And many underestimate how much time it really takes to keep the pipeline moving. Everyone makes mistakes in the early days. The important part is learning from them. So I’d love to hear from you: • If you’re just starting → what mistake are you most worried about? • If you’ve been searching for a while → what mistake did you make early on that others should avoid? Your answers could save someone else months of frustration.
