10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Business

from The Fearless Business Podcast · host Robin Waite

Most of the things holding your business back today were learned behaviours from your 20s. With over 20 years in business, several six-figure ventures and a recent health diagnosis that brought everything sharply into focus, Robin reflects on the 10 things he would go back and tell his younger self about money, health, business and life. Some of these lessons cost him dearly. All of them are avoidable. In this episode, Robin gets candid about the mistakes that quietly shaped his 20s and the simple shifts that would have changed everything. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ Why hard work alone does not equal success and the 4% rule that changes how you think about effort and output ✅ The financial mistakes most business owners make in their 20s and how to avoid the compound cost of starting too late ✅ Why charging your worth from day one matters more than you think and how underpricing creates a negative cycle that follows you for years ✅ How to build multiple income streams so your business is never dependent on a single source of revenue ✅ Why business dips are inevitable and how to use them as a catalyst for your biggest breakthroughs 🔗 Grab a free signed copy of Take Your Shot at fearless.biz/tys To Apply for a FREE Coaching Session with Robin: https://www.robinwaite.com/app Join our amazing community of Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/charge.more/ Check out the Fearless Business YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/RobinMWaite
