I Spent 15 Years in Marketing—Here’s What I’d Do If I Was Starting Over in 2025


Listen Later

Starting a business in 2025? Things have changed, and what worked years ago doesn’t necessarily work now. In this episode, marketing expert Michelle Thames breaks down the exact steps she would take if she were starting from zero today—no audience, no connections, no brand presence.

You’ll learn:
✔️ The biggest mistakes new entrepreneurs make (and how to avoid them)
✔️ How to pick the right platform for your business growth
✔️ Why followers don’t equal sales—and what to focus on instead
✔️ How to monetize your expertise from day one without a big audience
✔️ The importance of strategic consistency and how to build a brand that lasts

If you’re an entrepreneur who wants faster results without wasting time on the wrong strategies, this episode is for you!
