61 | My Biggest Business Lessons: What I Got Right (and Wrong) in My First 8 Years in Business

Feb 18, 2025

Eight years in business—what a ride! I can’t believe it’s been that long, and honestly, it feels like the perfect time to reflect on everything I’ve learned. There are things I’m so glad I did early on… and then there are the things I’d 1000% do differently if I could go back.

In this episode, I’m getting real about the biggest lessons from my business journey—what worked, what totally flopped, and what I wish I’d known sooner. From the systems I should have set up earlier to the investments I’ll never make again, I’m sharing it all.

If you’re in the thick of growing your business (or just love a good behind-the-scenes chat), I hope this episode resonates with you!


🎙️ In This Episode:

  • The biggest mistakes I made in my early years (so you don’t have to make them!)
  • What I wish I had prioritized sooner
  • The investments I regret (and where I wish I had put my money instead)
  • My real thoughts on outsourcing—what worked and what didn’t
