5 Things I Wish I did Differently When starting my Online Business EP171


There are 5 things I wish I did differently when starting my online business, and they will for sure surprise you.

Hindsight is always 20/20. I believe reflecting back on what we could have done better is important, just be sure not to dwell on what could have been (this can be challenging for me, a Virgo, Enneagram 6, INFJ).

As your business coach, it is my responsibility to share with you not just what works but also what doesn’t work, and the why behind it. Your business is something that is ever evolving just like your personal relationships. You will try things and some will workout great and others not so much, plus a few epic fails. Just know this is 100% going to happen, and if it hasn’t yet, you aren’t going all-in.

The first thing I wish I did differently is not focusing on how everyone else is showing up online. I wasted a lot of time and energy on studying how other female online business owners were presenting themselves online, the types of content they shared, how they dressed, etc… None of that matters, all I needed to do was show up as me 100% and serve my ideal client who needs my help.

Number two: I wish I reached out to people who had established personal brands and asked them for their hiring tips and biggest hiring mistakes. Even though ProjectME with Tiffany Carter is my second business, it is a personal brand, which is a completely different business model then my other online business. Therefor, the types of people I needed to hire were very different. I thought it would be smart to hire girls who had great social media accounts as it showed they understood digital marketing, WRONG. I attracted a bunch of people who wanted to be Insta-famous and were focused on building their business while using mine to get ahead.

The other three are best explained live, so download the episode to get all the juicy details.

Ep 818 The “Everything Is Going to Shit” Crash Out: How I Handle It in Real Time

What do you do when everything seems to go wrong at once, and you have absolutely no idea how it’s all going to work out?

I was supposed to release a completely different episode today. It was already recorded. Everything was planned. Then I woke up to some major fucking bullshit…followed almost immediately by more bullshit.

So I scrapped the plan and hit record while I was still in it.

This isn’t an episode about resilience from the other side, when everything has worked out and you can package the experience into a beautiful lesson. I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I handle stress, uncertainty, business setbacks and unexpected life problems in REAL TIME, before I know the outcome.

Because when multiple things go wrong at once, your brain loves to take individual problems and turn them into one giant story:
Everything is falling apart.

What if the moment when everything in your life seems to be falling apart at once isn’t proof that you’re going backward, but part of what happens before your biggest expansion?

Wealth expert and creator of The Quantum Woman™ framework Shamina Taylor joins Tiffany for a deeply honest conversation about what a quantum leap actually looks like in real life, including the part nobody wants to talk about: the breakdown before the breakthrough.

Shamina takes us inside her own quantum crash-out, when the successful life she had built began crumbling and forced her to confront what achievement, logic and pushing harder could no longer fix. What came next required emotional healing, identity work, learning to trust the unseen, and completely changing her relationship with money, success and herself.

Ep 816 Why Do You Procrastinate When You KNOW What to Do?

You know you need to post the content, talk about your offer, hire the help, make the investment, have the conversation, or finally start the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.

You’ve researched it. Planned it. Journaled about it. Asked ChatGPT 47 different ways. And you’re still not taking action.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re lazy.

Procrastination and self-sabotage can be automatic stress responses designed to protect you from what taking action might expose you to: failure, rejection, judgment, uncertainty, visibility, and even success.
