‘Nothing in my 20-year career in a corporation prepared me to run a business.’
Yes, being incredibly successful in a corporate job - even a place like Goldman Sachs - does not naturally mean you have all the skills and experience to launch a successful business.
The rules of the game are completely different when you become a solopreneur.

Why did Evelyn walk away from an established career to do what she does now?
This episode will shed light on what it really takes to launch your business, why your purpose matters, and give you a different perspective on financial security and success.
Evelyn is a financial coach who helps people build the lives they want without running out of money. She spent 20 years at Goldman Sachs working in London, Zurich and Tokyo, and qualified as a chartered accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

Do you see having a successful career coming at the expense of time, bonding and connection with your kids?
Do you feel you have to make sacrifices or are they simply choices you make in your life?
When it comes to thriving and building a successful career as a mom - whether that’s in a job or a business you run - it comes down to your perspectives and how you see things.
In today’s episode, I wanted to share a few of mine with you as a career mom.
I’ve gained these perspectives in the course of building a career and raising 2 teenagers both which I love, over the past 2 decades.
This is something I’ll be sharing more of in the podcast as a career mom.

I share my thoughts about what kind of leadership is required if you want to firstly lead your life from a position of empowerment, where you create the life you want and you get the results you desire.
This is where you must begin before you can ever hope to ‘change’ your circumstances, the people around you so that you experience a happier, freer and more fulfilling life.
Have a listen to it!
