    Five Badass Q&As:
    Q1: Why do you think dream boards are a distraction for entrepreneurs?

    A3: My perfectionism led me to spend too much time on appearances and not enough on actual content, slowing my progress.
    Q4: What’s a common mistake new entrepreneurs make, according to you and Rodney?
