The First 5 Things I’d Do If I Had to Start My Business Over (No Followers, No Plan, Just Heart)

Podcast cover for "Soul Biz BFF with Erin MacCoy," showcasing Episode S1 E18, titled "The First 5 Things I'd Do If I Had to Start My Business Over Today." Set against a starry background, this episode is perfect for those embarking on a new journey with no followers and big dreams.

If I had to start my business over today — no followers, no fancy website, no perfectly mapped-out plan — just me, my heart, and what I know now…

I’d do a few key things very differently.

Because after more than 12 years of coaching soulful entrepreneurs, I’ve seen the same patterns come up again and again:

  • Waiting until everything is “perfect” before putting yourself out there
  • Questioning your worth because you’re just starting out
  • Following cookie-cutter strategies that don’t actually feel aligned with who you are

And let me tell you — I’ve been there, too.

That’s exactly why I recorded this week’s episode of the SoulBiz BFF podcast:
“The First 5 Things I’d Do If I Had to Start My Business Over Today.”

It’s not another list of “quick wins” or “must-have” tools.
It’s the honest, grounded wisdom I wish someone had shared with me at the very beginning — the kind of clarity that would’ve saved me time, energy, and a whole lot of self-doubt.

In this episode, I share:

  • The very first thing I’d do before touching a website or social media
  • Why your story matters more than your strategy
  • How to step into the version of you who already owns her magic
  • Why simplicity is your greatest superpower
  • And the truth about sustainable success (hint: it’s not about hustling harder)

Whether you’re just starting your business or you’re in a season of reinvention, this episode is here to guide you back to your own inner knowing.

So if you’re ready for a fresh start, or simply craving a re-grounding moment that feels true to you — this one’s for you.
