On today's episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Sue MacGregor, a friend and former colleague about her transition to full-time entrepreneur.

You can connect with Sue on LinkedIn at Sue MacGregor | LinkedIn and visit her website at Textual art wood decor – Crafting Owl Co.

Sue and I talked about choosing college rather than university as well the importance of having a mentor and the impact of having an effective guidance counsellor at high school.

She shared her career from her first job after graduating from college, and the decision to motivate her as she moved from opportunity to opportunity throughout her career.

If I may, I would like to mention the significance and often good luck at losing one's job. Years ago, when I lost my job at the paper company, my boyfriend wished me mazel tov. Congratulations!?! I was dumbfounded. How could this be a good thing?

Trust me, it WAS. :)

Sue also talked about listening to the clues that give her joy (yes, we talked about the value of Marie Kondoing one's life) and choosing to go all in on her hobby to start her own business.

We ended the chat talking about what's next for her and sharing appreciation for our friendship which we both value very much.

Looking forward to my next Career Connection with one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Here's to jumping into the future together!
