What I’d Do Differently If I Were Starting My Business Today

Starting your own business—especially as a first-time entrepreneur—can feel like navigating in the dark. No roadmap, no guarantees, just you, your ideas, and a whole lot of trial and error.

As a two-time business owner, I’ve been through it all: the unnecessary investments, the branding that came too early, the fear of charging too much, and the game-changing decisions that led to real success.

In this post, I’m sharing the most important lessons I’ve learned—the ones that will save you time, money, and stress as you build your business. You’ll learn:

  • What your number #1 focus should be from day one

  • The investment most new designers are excited to make, but SHOULDN’T (yet)

  • The single most important hire I made early on that changed everything

  • How to trust yourself and take fast action—even when you’re scared

  • The one thing you must define before making any big decisions in your business

If you’re launching or growing your design business and want to build it the right way from the start, this is for you. Read the full post based on my experience working in the luxury services industry since 2007. Join The DTS Files today.
