Pulling my child out of school for a half-baked dream.2.) Paying big money to someone I barely know to "make my kid a star".3.) Not taking the time to research the entertainment industry for my education.4.) Allowing my child to "call the shots".5.) Assuming that really hard work would come naturally to my child.
