Welcome to Episode 3

Listen to the episode

Today I'm talking about diving into the deep end and launching your own small business. Here's your one-way ticket on the small business rollercoaster: you go up, you come down, you sit on a flat stretch for a while, and then the loops begin again.

Fair warning: it's raw and real, so you might want headphones around younger listeners.

Show notes

In this solo episode I share the things I wish I'd known (but didn't) when I launched my business. I've read plenty about the how-tos of small business, but my own journey has been the best teacher so far.

"I learnt more about how to launch and manage a small business from my failures than I did from my successes. And I'm still learning."

From the episode

Six things I wish I'd known

There's no such thing as perfect. You're going to have sh*t days. Not everyone is you. Pick your people wisely. Believe it will happen. And everything, the good and the hard, is temporary.

I learnt more about how to launch and manage a small business from my failures than from my successes, and I'm still learning.

A few loops further along?

Most of the business owners I work with are two or three years past launch. The product works, the rollercoaster has settled a little, and now they want to be found by more of the right people without doing it all themselves.

If that's you, The Visibility Accelerator™ is one-on-one, by application, with a maximum of five clients at a time.
