Ep 4 – Tech Savvy or Not? Debunking the Myth of Starting an Online Business
Introduction
“I’m not tech-savvy enough to start an online business.” Sound familiar? This limiting belief stops countless Expat Partners from pursuing entrepreneurship – but is it actually true?
In this episode, we tackle one of the most common fears head-on: the myth that you need to be technically skilled to launch an online business. We explore two contrasting perspectives, examine what technical knowledge you really need (spoiler: less than you think), and provide actionable insights to empower you regardless of your tech comfort level.
Whether you’re a self-proclaimed technophobe or somewhere in between, you’ll discover how to build a thriving business by focusing on your strengths and leveraging the right tools and support.
