I Have Found Myself Again: Rochelle Gilburn Interview

30 minutes

Entrepreneur, property investor and developer Rochelle Gillburn joins the podcast today to discuss how she went from working 9-5 to owning her own business and becoming financially free. Together they discuss how being your own boss gives you flexibility, how difficult lessons learned are valuable to taking your business into a new direction and why being visible is important to the success of your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Setting up your own business can give you the flexibility to work whenever you want. If you want to work in the evenings or early mornings then that is doable. You also have the ability to fit in leisure activities and are able to spend time with family and friends.

Having your own business means that you are in control of your own time. Things that you had stopped doing because family commitments or 9-5 working hours got in the way, you are able to pick back up again. You may find you have a very busy and full life but being your own boss is more fulfilling than going out to work in a job that you do not enjoy.

If you are starting out in business, you may make some mistakes such as hiring the wrong contractors and being taken for granted. These are not failures, learn from your mistakes and look towards the future and see how you can make things work for you. You have the ability to now employ people that you trust and who are working solely for you and who are not likely to let you down.

Really good advice when starting a company is to ‘be visible’. If you are not visible you may not have the opportunity to network, meet investors or have the opportunities you now have. Tell people about yourself and let them know who you are. Continuously show up and people will remember you and begin to trust you.

BEST MOMENTS
