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?

Loved this podcast episode Cindy! I think I’m probably guilty of all 15 myself. I’m still a newbie…a couple years into my coaching/online course side-gig and I’m still not making much but thankfully I’ve gotten waaaaay kinder to myself. I keep taking steps, moving forward, creating, learning, growing, putting myself out there — and this me is so much wiser than the one a couple of years ago. It’s only by doing that we learn. Thanks for the encouragement — we need more of it in this online world! (cuz it’s easy to feel like a total failure and wanna quit when we compare ourselves to others).
