Becoming BOSS

Send us a Text Message.

Welcome to The Career to Entrepreneur Method.  

I am so excited that you found your way here. Whether you’re joining for the first time or have been with me since the start (or somewhere in between) I want to welcome you!

This is the new updated version of the podcast I've been running under the brand ‘Powering Your Passion’  for the last 2 and half years and 116 episodes. 

Powering Your Passion was all about discovering what you really love doing in life, the thing that lights you up and energises you,  and powering it into something that you can turn into a fun and profitable business. 

And that is still very much a part of the show, passion will always be hugely important when creating a new business and lifestyle. 

So it’s time for a new era and a new name and brand to encompass all I talk about. It’s time to introduce The Career to Entrepreneur Method. 

I believe that moving from your long-held career to becoming a business boss is more than just getting an idea and turning it into a business.

It is a journey, with ups and downs and twists and turns, highs and lows.  

And you must learn to navigate it. 

You are in the right place if this sounds like you…

• You have lost belief in your career. 
• You Long For Freedom
• You know in your gut you want to be Your Own Boss
• You are ready to do the work

And all of that is going to be sprinkled with plenty of motivation and inspiration.  And sometimes I might need to give you some tough love because there are times when it will be needed!

If any of that resonates with you, or if only part of it does, then welcome, this podcast is for you.

First, make it easy for yourself to listen every week by clicking subscribe or follow.  

By doing that you are making a choice, to step up and raise your head and say, “You know what, I'm going to start my own business. I’m going to leave my career and go after what I really want”. Whether it's this year or next, it’s going to happen.


You're here. And you are the only person in the driver's seat for how and when you design and launch your business. 

I’m going to show up every week and do my best to guide, educate, motivate and inspire you to keep going.  And I want you to show up for yourself and listen and learn. 

I'm going to remind you every week that it is possible. You can do this. 

I can't wait to see what you achieve!

Have you been thinking about starting a side hustle? Then you may want to think again.  Because it’s not the golden ticket you think it is, well certainly not for everyone. 

In this episode, I’m talking about the circumstances when pursuing a side hustle might not be the best choice and share the reasons behind this. So you can decide if you personally should consider it or not.

And don't worry, if you realise the side hustle isn't for you, I've got an alternative. We'll explore how you can transition from employee to entrepreneur, without the need to start selling alongside your busy career. 

Are you ready to find out why a side hustle is a bad idea? Then press play!

When considering a move to entrepreneurship it’s a really common concern to worry about losing the job title you have earned and fought hard for on your climb up the ladder.

But here's the thing: stepping away from your job title isn't a loss; it's a huge opportunity. An opportunity to redefine yourself on your own terms. To give yourself the title that fits the real you, your values, your strengths and aspirations. 

This episode is a deep dive into the fears, the science, and the incredible potential that is unlocked from crafting your own identity as a digital entrepreneur. If you're wrestling with the 'what-ifs' and 'buts’ of transitioning to a digital business, trust me, this is one episode you can't afford to skip.

All successful entrepreneurs, without exception, will have had failures before they found success. Their trick is having the resilience and self-belief to try again.

But for a lot of people, the thought of failing can be crippling. It stops them from going for long-held dreams or makes them think small to lessen the risk of failure. 

In this episode, I’m talking about why you need to change your view of failure and how you can flip the switch and embrace it as part of your success plan.

I’m sharing why decluttering your mind is so transformative and talking you through how you can free your own mind so you can move forward with your plans with clarity and confidence.

All of us pick up mental clutter as we go through life. You know, things like beliefs, ideas and experiences that are either no use or have a negative effect on us. They build up and spin around your mind getting in the way of your thinking and decision making. 

So, before you can move on to exciting new plans and goals, you need to deal with this clutter or it can potentially hold you back or slow you down.

I always advise that you only share your new business or life-change goals with just a few people. Those you know will be supportive and give just the right amount of constructive advice to make sure you stay on track. 

But at some point, you will need to tell more people about your plans, especially when launching a new venture.  That’s when the naysayers can cross your path. People who want to pour water on your entrepreneurial fire. 

In this episode, I’m sharing some fun and easy ways to deal with them with style and grace, so you can protect your mindset without coming across as defensive.
