This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on the podcast.
If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because we get rid of that fear that's stopping you from "doing the thing!"
The original episode: 49....
I’m officially 12 years into this wild entrepreneurial ride. (If I had a baby when I started, it would be a pre-teen — let that sink in).
To mark the moment — and honestly, to save you from a few of my hard-earned mistakes — I’m sharing the 12 biggest lessons I wish I’d known sooner. These are the ones I had to learn the long way, so you don’t have to.
This isn’t a list of quick fixes or surface-level advice. This is about the lessons that change how you think, how you build, and how you lead.
Inside this episode, I’m opening up about:
- 🧩 The messy truth about your first clients — and how I went from zero sign-ups to 200 in one weekend (without a fancy website or audience).
- 💸 Why cheaper offers aren’t always the easier sell (This one still surprises me — and I’ll tell you exactly why it happens.)
- 🤝 The real reason “doing it alone” slows you down — and how collaborations boosted my growth.
It’s an honest, unpolished chat — full of stories, lessons, and the things I wish someone had told me back in year one. If you’re building, pivoting, or just need a reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect, this one’s for you.
Listen and then come tell me which lesson you feel the the most — I want to hear your stories too!
