You've seen the social media posts: "To be successful, quit your corporate career and strike out on your own!" "Entrepreneur 'til I die," "Don't make someone else rich!" While the idea that becoming an entrepreneur leads to increased flexibility and income may hold true for some, it's not a universal fit and often takes time to materialize. In this episode, I delve into my personal journey as an entrepreneur, recounting various challenges and setbacks. I discuss why I consider Journey To Launch a success, despite encountering multiple "failures," and offer genuine advice for those contemplating a move towards self-employment.

In this episode you'll also learn more about:

• Various businesses I tried and failed before I began Journey To Launch
• Actionable tips if you're thinking about jumping into entrepreneurship
• How to set yourself up for entrepreneur success in the beginning
• The pros and cons of working for yourself + more
