278: 10 Things I Wish I Knew Earlier In Business

Have you ever wondered what lessons you’d go back and teach your younger self in business? In this episode, I’m sharing ten truths I wish I had known earlier in my entrepreneurial journey and insights learned through both wins and hard lessons over the past 20+ years. From navigating criticism and burnout to building systems, setting boundaries, and separating your identity from your business, these are the real strategies and mindset shifts that keep you growing and thriving.

As I reflect on the journey, I invite you to consider which of these lessons resonate most with you. My hope is that by sharing what I’ve learned the hard way, you’ll be able to skip some of the struggle and step into your success with more clarity, resilience, and confidence.

In Today’s Episode, We Discuss:

  • The surprising truth about revenue versus profit (and how to truly get ahead)
  • How the myth of “doing it all” keeps entrepreneurs stuck
  • The powerful role boundaries play in sustainable growth
  • Why your community and network can change everything for your business
  • The often-overlooked secret to building a brand people truly feel
  • What makes rest one of the most strategic business tools you can use
  • How to avoid tying your self-worth to your business success or failures

Hindsight is a gift, but foresight is even better. My challenge for you is to reflect on which of these lessons you’re ready to lean into today. I’d love to hear your own “wish I knew” moment! Send me a message and share what resonates with you most.
