He also advises against over-building facilities or programs before validating market demand, emphasizing the importance of testing ideas first. The paper highlights the pitfall of ignoring negative member feedback, stressing its value for improving retention and referrals. Furthermore, Thomas discusses the dangers of misjudging burn rate and cash flow, urging entrepreneurs to track finances diligently.
