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.
