#5 Why Most Startups Fail: The Top 7 Reasons

5. Undifferentiated product

Any business, whether a startup or an established company, needs to offer a product or service that is unique and differentiates itself from the competition. If a startup (Entrepreneurs, Small Business and Tradesmen) doesn't have a unique product, it is likely to fail. There are many reasons why a startup might have an undifferentiated product. Maybe the founder didn't do enough market research and failed to identify a need that their product could fill. Maybe they identified a need but their product doesn't meet it in a unique or differentiating way. Or maybe the startup is simply offering a me-too product, that is, a product that is very similar to what is already available on the market. Whatever the reason, an undifferentiated product is a recipe for disaster for a startup. Without a unique selling proposition, it will be very difficult to generate interest in the product and get people to buy it. And even if the startup does manage to get some traction, it will likely be quickly overshadowed by a competitor with a better differentiated product. So if you're starting a business, make sure you have a unique and differentiated product. It's the best way to ensure your startup's success.

After 27 years in the trades industry, I sold my company and retired. Then two yeas later, I decided to be an advocate for those still working in the trades. My goal is to help the tradesmen to be more successful, work less hours, and to receive a high return on their time invested.
