6 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Online Business

from The Shannon Blanchard Podcast · host Shannon Blanchard

Ever wondered what kind of information could save you some time in the process of building your business? Well, if I could go back and sit down with myself right before I started my online business in 2021, this is exactly what I would say! In this episode, I'm sharing 6 things I genuinely wish I had known before I started because it would have saved me time, energy, and honestly, a lot of tears (lol). Whether you're just getting started or you're further along and need a reset, this one's for you! We're talking about why marketing is so much simpler than you think, why the online space is absolutely not too crowded for you, and why holding on to a timeline for your business is hurting your progress. Key Topics: → Why there's no secret to getting clients (and what effective marketing actually looks like) → The data that proves the online space is still wide open in 2026 → Why learning how to monetize your skills online is one of the best ways to future-proof your income → Why you don't have to start over every time you want to make a change → The mindset shift around timelines and revenue that changed everything for me → Why passion will always beat skills → What consistency actually looks like and how to come back to it when you feel lost Links mentioned: 🍒 Join the waitlist for Lucky Day, my signature program for aspiring entrepreneurs ready to build a sustainable business that lights them up ✢✢✢ If we haven’t met yet, hi!
