S2/E18 Starting Over

Natalie Dawson
About this episode

If I had to start over from scratch tomorrow—no brand, no audience, no momentum—this is the exact 7-step playbook I’d follow to rebuild my income fast. In this episode, I walk you through the high-value skills that matter most, how to pitch offers quickly and confidently, and how to leverage AI to move faster without losing your authenticity. I’m also sharing why obsessing over your early clients is non-negotiable—and the traps most new business owners fall into that you need to avoid at all costs. This isn’t theory—it’s strategy. If you’re in build mode, this episode will give you the clarity and urgency to actually win.
