Welcome to TRACY HARMOUSH’s YouTube Channel,
This series is a part of the What They Don't Tell Us Podcast, where we bring hard conversations, life lessons & skills to the forefront that we should have learned about back in school before many other things, but most of us haven’t. Through these talks, we plan to change that with the intention to shift and shape mindsets.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we get into what makes a start up succeed, and what makes it fail… What are the biggest mistakes businesses make and how to avoid them. And what is at the top of the priority list for investors or job applicants to look at when studying a start up. I hope these insights will give you a slightly higher success rate in bringing to life your own idea, creativity, and contribution to the world.
