If you have been copying, get honest and switch from copying to modeling.

3. The research BIZ Experiences

This BIZ Experiences loves to learn. They research every possible scenario and outcome for strategies to start or grow a business. There is nothing wrong with learning, but when that's all you do, it becomes a problem. The research ends up becoming an excuse for not taking action.
