Being wrong can be just as useful as being right, especially when you have a decade of predictions, opinions, and business lessons to look back on. In this episode, I revisit more than a decade of my own thinking to explore where I got things wrong, what changed my mind, and which ideas have held up over time.

Listen in as I look back at why I underestimated paid traffic, expected more sellers to leave Amazon, and overestimated the potential of ChatGPT advertising. I also revisit the ideas I believe I got right, including the value of building smaller, trusted communities and creating a business that doesn't require the founder to be a superhero. You'll hear what these lessons have taught me about sustainable growth, long-term business ownership, and building a business you actually want to run for years to come.

Building a great business and building a great life don't have to be competing goals, but keeping both on track for the long term takes more than simply working harder. As your business grows, the decisions that help you scale can also create new demands on your time, money, and attention. In this episode, I'm sharing the lessons I wish I could have given my younger self about building a business that supports the life you actually want to live.

Drawing on a talk I recently gave to a group of young founders, I break down eight lessons for building a successful business without letting it consume everything else. Listen in to learn why mastering your finances should come first, how raising your prices can create significant leverage, why a small strike team can be more effective than a large organization, and why you still need trusted humans on your team. I also explain when to start taking money out of the business, how to stop comparing your path to other entrepreneurs, and how to stop moving the goalposts once you've reached enough.
