The Conscious Leadership Podcast with Gabby Ortega, MA

How to Leave Your 9-5 and Go All-in with Your Business


Listen Later

When I built OM Therapy Coaching, I was actually still working a soul-sucking, 9 to 5 job as an assistant in a corporate office, while also going to school for my Masters degree full time in the evenings AND interning on the weekends. All that to say - I know what it’s like to want to see your dreams happen while simultaneously being pulled in a million directions. I get questions all the time from people looking to turn their conscious business into a full-time career, so if you’re at that point in your journey, this is the episode for you (and you’re going to want to take notes!)


Every other Thursday at 5pm PST, me and the OM coaching team hosts a live coaching call for all of the amazing conscious leaders and entrepreneurs in our community to learn and grow. A recent call was entirely dedicated to Leaving Your 9 to 5, and this content was so helpful and well received, that I knew I had to make it available for anyone seeking to shift their career.

I know the beginning part of the entrepreneurial journey is one of the hardest, when you are wearing all the hats, but it won’t be like this forever! To get through, you’ll need some skills and tools, and that’s exactly what I put together in this training. From this episode, you’ll take away the actionable tips and takeaways to navigate the bumpy “squeeze” period of working your day job to fund your dream job. From self care and mindset tools to time management and backend prioritization, this recording will help you figure out exactly what you need to do to make this leap and make your dream job a reality.
