Airbnb is probably one of the most inspiring startup success stories. Founders Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia launched the site in 2007 after moving from New York to San Francisco and noticing an influx of visitors during an industrial design conference and a lack of available hotels. Today, Airbnb is worth nearly $3.4 billion. So, if you are a new entrepreneur, it is important to take a step back and avoid some common blunders plaguing your businesses. Making the right decisions early on can help you avoid major headaches later on!
