No, I didn't do everything right.
Yes, I did make many mistakes along the way, and yes I would do things way differently if I could go back in time and talk to my old self.
Listen to This Episode
In this week's episode, I talk about ten of those things, so that you can benefit from my experience and build a blog where you can really Create Content, Inspire Others and even Change The World, while building your online business.
In This Episode
You may be just getting started with your blog, or maybe you've been blogging for a while like myself. There's always something to learn to help us to step up our game. Also, when we figure these things out, the best time to start implementing them would be NOW. What are the things I would've done differently? I'm glad you asked:
- I would've focused on my Passion from Day 1
- I would've focused on my Why from the VERY BEGINNING!
- I would've started with a Blog
- I would've built my list from the beginning
- I would've only built 1 Blog
- I would've started on on Video sooner
- I would've started my Podcast sooner
- I would've started creating products earlier
- I would've outsourced earlier
- I would've started/joined a Mastermind group sooner
So there you have it. Of course, in the actual podcast episode I elaborate on these 10, talk about why they are significant, and maybe I even included a bonus tip in there. I guess you'll just have to listen to find out 😉
