Wanna know what the biggest business regrets are? You’d think it’s about making more money or having a super successful business. Nope!

When business owners come to us feeling frazzled, stuck, and uninspired, they secretly reveal how they’re really feeling: frustration about working too hard and not being there for loved ones; not having more fun and enjoying the ride; holding back ideas out of fear of rejection, failure, etc.

So imagine our surprise when we listened to Bronnie Ware, a former hospice nurse, share the top 5 regrets of the dying, and realize that they are basically the same things we hear from entrepreneurs all the time.

This week, we use Bronnie Ware’s “Top 5 Regrets of the Dying” as a springboard into a necessary conversation for any entrepreneur feeling burnt out, tired, and stuck.

Don’t worry: we don’t make this too morbid. We offer some very specific steps entrepreneurs can take to avoid these regrets entirely.

The trap of always wanting more clients and customers

In challenging economic times, it’s easy for any business owner to do whatever they need to do to bring in more money. That includes discounting, offering anything that will make them money, lowering pricing, and so on...

But IS this the best decision for the longevity of your business? Even if it feels good at the moment?

This week, we use Delta Airlines’ surprising overhaul to their SkyMiles loyalty program as a case study (spoiler: people aren’t happy). And while we don’t know all the reasons why Delta made these changes, there are some super valuable lessons for us small business owners to takeaway:

Why it’s so tempting to lower prices and discount (even successful businesses do this!)
The biggest pitfall of discounting and lowering pricing (this one will surprise you!)
What to do instead of trying to sell to anyone and everyone
