What is it like to go from a cubicle to being the CEO of your own company? Five years ago, Ellen Yin quit her corporate marketing job without a backup plan. She then turned a single $300 freelance contract as a marketing consultant into a seven-figure business.
In this conversation, Ellen is sharing what that journey looked like for her, how some independent business owners go into entrepreneurship without realizing they want to run a business in the first place, and how you can begin embracing your inner CEO. Plus, we’re discussing the science of asking questions and the one mistake you might be making when you close out your emails!
