Steve Glenn explains 10 mistakes entrepreneurs make
This post was written by Matt Sherman, co-owner of Lincoln-based Three Pillars Media.
A couple weeks ago, lifetime entrepreneur Steve Glenn spilled the beans on the 46 businesses he’s started and the lessons he's learned along the way.
The founder and CEO of Executive Travel, one of the Midwest's most successful and fastest growing travel management companies, spoke at Old Chicago in Lincoln to a crowd of 50 entrepreneurs about the mistakes entrepreneurs make when starting a business. The event, put on by the Lincoln Young Professionals Group (Lincoln YPG), was exciting with everyone leaving and talking about the points that were mentioned.
The talk was labeled as the 10 Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make, but Steve went on to say he increased it to 17 before he finally stopped the list that day. The hunt, he said, is why he’s started so many businesses, rather than for the money.
The first mistake on his list: entrepreneurs often forget that “cash is king.” Check out the video to hear why and how he’s learned to deal with it.

nice work on this Video Mr. Sherman
- your attitude and skill do not get public appreciation enough.
your work for the entrepreneurs and innovators in Nebraska is excellent - I can't wait until the official announcement about your work with... i better wait huh?
everyone - look for an amazing project from ThreePillars soon that will connect and engage Nebraska innovators for the benefit of the entire community and state!
Engaging is the best part. Was happy to see a few folks from Omaha at the event. It's so surprising when I go to an event in Omaha and people are like "wow, you came all the way from Lincoln" and I'm sure the Omahans(?) get the same reaction here. That really needs to change and SPN is doing a great job of opening up those opportunities.
Great Video. This is very informative and I'm glad to see people working towards creating great ideas. I've been trying to gather ideas and put them into play but just have't found the right business plan.
Excellent video, that content is priceless, would love to have had him continue that list. His presentation style is top notch and so engaging.
Thanks SPN & Three Pillars Media!
