What happened
Business went well and I needed triple the space after ten months. The lease had no break clause and the landlord would not negotiate. I paid for an empty unit for years.
What it cost me
€72,000
Time lost
4 years
Emotional cost
Trapped
What I learned
Negotiate the exit before you celebrate the entrance. Success can break a contract as badly as failure.
