In this episode of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire I interview laura Zavelson, a corporate escapee turned serial entrepreneur, former professor of entrepreneurship and now business guide.

You will learn:

• How Laura helps women leave a secure job in order to start a business
• Why Laura decided to specialize in Gen X women
• Why it is so important to define what success looks like to you
• How Laura recommends how to transition financially from a job to owning a business
• Why thought leadership and a network is important when building a business
• Where the first client typically comes from (hint-it is not Social Media)
• Why it is important to differentiate yourself and take a stand as opposed to following the crowd
• Why your concept of "failure" needs to change as an entrepreneur
