The speaker discusses acquiring foreign clients and mentions that RealFITT provides clients, but there is also an expectation to bring in business independently. The importance of starting on social media is emphasized, regardless of having a brand or followers. It is suggested to start where one feels comfortable and gradually expand to other platforms. Reposting previous content is considered underrated and can be effective in engaging audiences who may not remember posts from months ago. The speaker advises being authentic to stand out on social media and suggests not getting too caught up in engagement metrics initially. One key learning the speaker shares is the advice to start by working for someone else before starting a business, as it allows for learning coaching skills and gaining knowledge about the business while earning less pay.
