8 Things I’d Do Differently If I Were Starting a New Business.
I could’ve gotten to 6 figures much sooner.
I recently realized I could’ve been a millionaire by now. I could’ve had an e-mail list of thousands. I could’ve been published in all kinds of places.
But I’m not.
It’s been ten years since I started my business, and I haven’t achieved half of what I want because I was focused on the wrong things.
Don’t. Be. Me. I should get a T-shirt with that.
Here’s what I’d do differently if I were starting now. Please, learn from my mistakes.
I’d get serious about sharing what I know.
In the beginning, you think you have nothing to say, so you keep quiet. Yet, some of my most-read Medium stories are about exmy experiences 10 years ago. Why didn’t I share them earlier?
If I were starting now, I’d put myself out there immediately and start talking about what I knew and was doing. People love stories, especially the stories you have to share when you have no idea what you’re doing.
Whatever industry you’re in, and whatever your level, there are people who want to hear your story, lessons, and opinions. Don’t be shy about sharing.
