What are the biggest DIY lead generation mistakes?

Five graves, all shallow, all crowded. One: quitting at week three, right before the compounding starts, every method needs ninety days. Two: trying six methods at once and mastering none, one channel done daily beats six done occasionally. Three: slow follow-up, generating your own lead and then calling it four days later is burning your own money. Four: no tracking, without numbers you cannot tell what is working, so you fix the wrong things. Five: pitching before helping, people flee sellers and flock to helpers. Read the list again and notice something hopeful: not one mistake requires talent to avoid. Just decisions. Make the five right ones and you are ahead of nearly everyone doing this.
