Entrepreneur Furkat Kasimov launches new book on avoiding critical business mistakes

Seasoned entrepreneur Furkat Kasimov launches new book "Don't Do This: A Guide to Business Survival," which catalogs almost 150 common business mistakes across 16 chapters. This guide provides practical solutions to help entrepreneurs avoid costly errors that contribute to the high failure rate of new businesses.

 A new business book focused on helping entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes has been released. "Don't Do This: A Guide to Business Survival" by Furkat Kasimov identifies nearly 150 common business errors that lead to venture failure and provides actionable solutions to overcome them.

The book addresses the alarming statistics showing that 82 percent of business failures stem from poor cash flow management alone. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 20 per cent of small businesses fail within their first year, with nearly 50 per cent failing within five years.

Unlike conventional business literature emphasizing success narratives, Don’t Do This adopts a case-study approach rooted in real-world missteps. Kasimov dissects his own entrepreneurial setbacks, including a bankrupt online supplement company derailed by unsustainable customer acquisition costs and a pay-per-call legal lead service felled by client payment disputes. These examples anchor broader lessons on financial planning, team dynamics, and market adaptation.

“Traditional business books often overlook the power of analyzing failure,” Kasimov stated. “Through mapping out where others-including myself-have stumbled, we create a proactive defense against preventable errors.”

"Don't Do This" differentiates itself from traditional business books by focusing on learning from mistakes rather than success stories. The comprehensive guide methodically categorizes business blunders across sixteen chapters, covering areas such as financial management, marketing and sales, product development, and remote team leadership.

"The goal of this book is to provide entrepreneurs with a roadmap of what not to do, based on real-world experience rather than theoretical concepts," said Kasimov. "In understanding and avoiding these common pitfalls, business owners can significantly improve their chances of long-term success."

Each chapter addresses specific areas where businesses commonly falter and provides concrete solutions. The book also covers contemporary business challenges, including remote workforce coordination, supply chain disruptions, and digital transformation issues. What sets this book apart is Kasimov's candid sharing of his own business failures, including an online supplement company and a pay-per-call customer acquisition service for attorneys.

Don’t Do This: A Guide to Business Survival is available on Amazon and Google Play Books.
