008. Business Advice I’m Glad I Didn’t Listen To (and maybe you shouldn’t either)

We're taking a trip back to February 2021, when I was celebrating five years on this wild business ride!

I'm about to spill the beans on the 8 pieces of advice that, honestly, I'm pretty glad I didn't just nod along to. And it's all up to you, really – whether you want to take these and run with them.

Here’s a quick rundown of the episode…

• [00:05] This episode is from the Archives as I used to have a different podcast with a different name.
• [00:38] Even this was recorded in February of 2021, when I celebrated 5 years in business, this is still packed with so much value that you’ll enjoy listening.

• [02:20] Take note that since this was a past recording, some dates, mentions and resources may no longer be applicable. This episode is about the 8 business advice I’m glad I didn’t listen to.
• [02:53] Just because I decided not to listen to this type of advice doesn’t mean you shouldn’t either.
• [04:18] The first advice I’m glad I didn’t listen to is that you must gain traditional professional experience before starting your own business.
