My uncle told me to hold my startup cash for a full quarter before spending

I ignored him and burned through $15,000 in marketing in two months with almost no return. Has anyone else learned the hard way to build a longer runway?

My buddy Jake blew his whole seed money on a single trade show booth.

My cousin did something similar at a home and garden show in Tulsa. He spent nearly eight grand on a huge corner booth with a working waterfall. The problem was he sold handmade birdhouses. People loved the water feature, but he only sold three small items all weekend. He basically paid thousands per birdhouse.
