No audience. No email list. No clients. No social following. Here's what I wouldn't do... I wouldn't spend six months trying to become an Instagram expert. I wouldn't wait until everything was "perfect." And I definitely wouldn't try to grow all by myself. Instead... I'd build my email list by getting in front of other people's audiences. I'd participate in bundles. I'd speak in summits. I'd guest on podcasts. I'd join a handful of communities where my ideal clients were already hanging out. And honestly... I'd probably host a bundle before I hosted a summit. Why? Because it's one of the fastest ways I know to build relationships, grow an email list, and get your name in front of new people without needing a huge audience. Most people think they need more followers. I think they need more opportunities to be seen. That's where I'd start. 💬 If you had to start your business over today, what would you do differently?

A few years ago, if someone had told me that collaborations would become one of the biggest drivers of growth in my business, I probably wouldn't have believed them. I thought growth came from creating more content. Posting more. Being online more. Instead, some of my biggest growth came from: ✨ Virtual summits ✨ Bundles ✨ Podcast guesting ✨ Strategic partnerships ✨ Getting into the right rooms I recently joined @Jules White on The Website Success Show to talk about how collaborations helped me grow my business, build my email list, and create opportunities without relying on social media 24/7. One thing we talked about that I think more entrepreneurs need to hear: You do NOT need a huge audience to start collaborating. You just need to start. 🎧 Listen here OR Watch it on YT 💬 Curious... Have collaborations played a role in growing your business yet? Or is it something you've been wanting to explore?
