The temptation to spend unnecessary money at the very beginning.

Every newbie founder never knows what it is like to start a new business or startup. Mostly, they imagine how they would impact the market with their newly-found idea to solve a problem.

Before the launch, they picture how wonderful it would be to own a business and feel pretty proud of themselves (sounds familiar?).
