“If I knew then what I know now”

...it’s always so much easier to look back and think that isn’t it?.

Today’s episode is all about sharing some of my favorite and most relevant tips I wish I knew back in the day and I often share with others today.

It’s easy to look back and think of all the things you could have or should have done differently or better.  But here’s the thing, we actually learn more when we make mistakes or when we run into challenges.

We come up with ways to work through those tough times, we learn more about ourselves, what we’re capable of and we learn a ton that not only benefits us, and our business, but we can also be of greater service by sharing with our audience and our clients how to navigate these choppy waters of entrepreneurship.

I have a long history of running businesses. My degree is in accounting and I spent 20 years in Corporate America as an accounting, finance and operations executive.  Specializing in helping start-up companies in Silicon Valley get started and prepare them for aggressive and massive growth.

Besides that, I also started my own consulting practice back at the end of 2010  and my business was to be the CFO for hire for start-up companies, so I know a thing or two about starting, running and growing businesses of all sizes and at all different stages with different needs and challenges.  

But even with all my experience, when I decided to expand into the online space, it required a lot of learning, testing, trying, failing and trying again.  This whole pursuit of online entrepreneurship has been one big, long and exciting lesson after another. It’s a ride, and I for one, love roller coasters, I hope you do too.

Today I want to go over 10 business tips I believe you need to keep in mind, remember or know about in order to achieve success in the online space.   As you pursue online entrepreneurship you may feel like ‘been there, done that’, especially if you’ve started a successful business before.

I ask that you keep an open mind and just hear me out as I go over my top 10 tips...the list could be longer, but we’ll just go over my top 10.  

Ready? Ok, here we go...In this episode, we’ll go over
