Building A Business From Scratch in 2021 | What I Would Do If I Were Starting Now

What would your business look like if you took all the right steps — from day one?I’ve reflected a lot on what I’d do differently to move the needle the furthest if I started my business from scratch today.In the early days, I made a lot of mishaps:1. I had no clear profit plan.I was an accidental entrepreneur. As I grew, I hopped from plan to plan, learned as I went, and didn’t settle on what I really wanted to do until later. If I’d taken the time to come up with a practical profit plan from the start, my journey would have been much more straightforward — and I might be at seven figures already!2. I had NO CLUE what I was doing.Who learned how to run a business using Google? Your girl right here. When One Big Happy Life started to take off, I was trail-and-erroring my way into entrepreneurship. That wasted SO much of my time. I regret that I didn’t find a comprehensive program to help me through the learning curve.3. I built an audience without knowing my ideal customer. I can’t really blame myself for this one. When I launched One Big Happy Life, it was a hobby blog, not a revenue stream. I wish that I’d known from the start that One Big Happy Life was destined to be a business. Launching without an ideal customer in mind led to a lot of course correction (some of which is ongoing)!Don’t make the same mistakes that I did!

Are you ready to live your life beyond the 9-5? Do you want to do work that lights you up, while wearing your comfiest pants… and get paid well to do it? The real talk, practical tips, and business strategies I’ll be sharing in the More Than Just Business podcast will help you get there. I’m Scarlett Cochran, a former lawyer turned entrepreneur. I left a six-figure job doing work that I loved, because the future I saw ahead of me didn’t excite me. I wanted freedom, flexibility, and time with my family. In just two years I built a multi-six figure online business (while raising two kids and working my corporate day job) that allowed me to quit the 9-5, take back control of my schedule and pay myself a six-figure salary on my terms. Yes, that can be your life! And I'm going to show you how.
