More Than Just Business

Building A Business From Scratch in 2021 | What I Would Do If I Were Starting Now

What would your business look like if you took all the right steps — from day one?

I’ve reflected a lot on what I’d do differently to move the needle the furthest if I started my business from scratch today.

In the early days, I made a lot of mishaps:

1. I had no clear profit plan.

I was an accidental entrepreneur. As I grew, I hopped from plan to plan, learned as I went, and didn’t settle on what I really wanted to do until later. If I’d taken the time to come up with a practical profit plan from the start, my journey would have been much more straightforward — and I might be at seven figures already!

2. I had NO CLUE what I was doing.

Who learned how to run a business using Google? Your girl right here. When One Big Happy Life started to take off, I was trail-and-erroring my way into entrepreneurship. That wasted SO much of my time. I regret that I didn’t find a comprehensive program to help me through the learning curve.

3. I built an audience without knowing my ideal customer. 

I can’t really blame myself for this one. When I launched One Big Happy Life, it was a hobby blog, not a revenue stream. I wish that I’d known from the start that One Big Happy Life was destined to be a business. Launching without an ideal customer in mind led to a lot of course correction (some of which is ongoing)!

Don’t make the same mistakes that I did! In this episode of Wealth Life Balance, I’m sharing six key strategies to help you build the business you want from day one!
