EP 353: What I'd Do If I Were Starting My Business from Scratch

If you had to start your business over with nothing, what would you do differently? Over the years, I've started about a dozen businesses. A couple did really well, a few failed, and a few I simply walked away from. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I'd build my current business if I were starting from scratch, without the connections, money or tools I have today. You'll hear the 10 steps I'd take to get it off the ground, the mistakes I wouldn't repeat, and the four tools I'd invest in right from the start.
