Listen Later

If you're dreaming about leaving your 9-to-5 to build a business, but you're unsure where to start, I get it. Nearly 10 years ago, I was in your shoes—working long hours as a CMO, feeling unfulfilled, and wondering how I could create a life on my terms.

In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I made the leap to full-time entrepreneurship, including the hard lessons I learned along the way and the strategies that worked. If you're ready to start making moves toward freedom, this episode will give you the roadmap to get there.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why Setting Financial Goals Is Essential: I'll explain how I made my side hustle match my day job income for three months before making the leap.
  • The Power of Resourcefulness: You'll hear how I maximized my limited time, from recording podcasts at 5 a.m. to turning my day job into a paying client.
  • How to Test Income Streams Before You Quit: I'll walk you through why experimenting with coaching, consulting, and courses helped me discover what I loved—and what I didn't.
  • The Importance of Mentors: I'll share why investing in masterminds and personal growth made the difference in scaling my business.
  • How to Use Your Day Job as an Advantage: I'll reveal the strategies I used to leverage my corporate role to fuel my entrepreneurial journey.
