This third episode in our Redefining Careers series takes a look behind the scenes on the realities of leaving a corporate job and setting up on your own. Joined by the inspirational Matt Sims, he shares his experience of leaving his role where he had been for 8 years, to become a solopreneur focusing on his passion and purpose. Lots of freedom and space to focus on the things you want to, equally lots of tasks that need to be done in a self-sufficient way. He also reassures us that many of the aspects that can appear daunting - finance, marketing, time management etc - actually are not as tough as you might think. The essence for success as a solopreneur can be defined as self-belief along with a positive network of people to support and empower you.

An ideal listen for anyone feeling trapped and wants a reminder of the big wide world of work that is out there; or has a glimmer of an idea for self-employment at some point in the future and wants to start building the dream vision.

You can contact Matt through his LinkedIn profile Matt Sims and his fab Ever-So-Lean podcast is both educational and fun to listen to (great ideas for bringing Continuous Improvement mindset to everyday life).
