Like they say, Hindsight is always 20/20. And nothing becomes more clear than looking back and seeing your mistakes when you start a business of any kind.

Here’s feedback from nine entrepreneurs explaining what they wish they had done differently.

1. Jacquelyn Tran, founder of Perfume Bay, Inc.

What she would change, if she could: Tran wishes she had launched her marketing campaign sooner.

2. Brandon Fishman and Brent Gleeson, co-founders of NewCondosOnline.com

What they would change, if they could: “We would have spent more time and money on search engine optimization”.

3. Kara J. Trott, founder of Quantum Health, Inc.

What she would change, if she could: “I would have trusted my instincts more in terms of what we needed to do. There were times when I took others’ advice, when I should have done what I thought was right.”

4. Tony Corke, founder of Chaparosa Grill

What he would change, if he could: He wished he would have taken advantage of more multicultural opportunities.

5. Gordon Logan, founder of Sport Clips

What he would change, if he could: “I would have had more control over the franchising process by not going through a third party”.

6. Jonathan Shook and Vinny Dotolo, co-founders of Carmelized Productions, Inc.

What they would change, if they could: “We chose not to spend on Web sites or any other standard marketing tools. We got lucky that our food rocked and we got jobs because of it.”

7. Ron Simpson, founder of Play N Trade

What he would change, if he could: He would have implemented his Area Developer sales program sooner.

8. Michael Ilitch, founder of Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc.

What he would change, if he could: “I don’t think I would have done anything differently. There were certainly some failures and many successes along the way, but I always enjoyed learning from all the ups and downs.”

9. Annette Cook, founder of Barefoot Dreams

What she would change, if she could: “If I could turn back time, I would have gotten more help, sooner,”
