Summary

Do you ever look back and think, “Dang, I wish I’d known!” I’m not even talking about the big stuff, like the 2008 recession (although it can be argued that we all should have seen that one coming). What I’m talking about are things like, “Dang, I wish I’d known that I can wear whatever I want and no one will notice or care,” or “I wish I’d known that investing a tiny amount when you’re young adds up to big dividends when you’re old.” I’ve come across many of these lessons in business as well, and I’m sharing 15 of them with you in this episode of the Tiny Course Empire podcast. It’s my hope that you will both benefit from my hindsight, and learn to identify the ideas you have today that will later become “I wish I’d knowns.” Because when you spot them early, “I wish I’d known” becomes “I’m glad I did.” That’s a much better outcome, don’t you think? Prefer a transcript? Here you go! What you’ll learn in this episode: Why the value of your work is probably not what you think it is The most important skill any entrepreneur can develop (and it’s not email marketing or copywriting or even self-discipline) The least important thing I spent the most time on, and what I would do instead What you can learn even from a failed launch How to stay frustrated and stuck, and what to change if you don’t want to be there Resources mentioned: Six-Figure Systems is my monthly program where we build your business from the ground up.

Episode Description

Do you ever look back and think, “Dang, I wish I’d known!”

I’m not even talking about the big stuff, like the 2008 recession (although it can be argued that we all should have seen that one coming).

What I’m talking about are things like, “Dang, I wish I’d known that I can wear whatever I want and no one will notice or care,” or “I wish I’d known that investing a tiny amount when you’re young adds up to big dividends when you’re old.”

I’ve come across many of these lessons in business as well, and I’m sharing 15 of them with you in this episode of the Tiny Course Empire podcast. It’s my hope that you will both benefit from my hindsight, and learn to identify the ideas you have today that will later become “I wish I’d knowns.”

Because when you spot them early, “I wish I’d known” becomes “I’m glad I did.” That’s a much better outcome, don’t you think?
