Quit Your Job Become Your Own Boss
In this episode, Jeannette talks about quitting your job and becoming your own boss. Whether this is something you've been thinking about for a while, or you've just started on that journey yourself, this episode is for you. In it, Jeannette shares an 8-step process you can use to determine if working for yourself is likely to be the right choice, then if you decide it is, put together a plan to get you there.
The advice she shares is current and highly effective because becoming her own boss is something that Jeannette has recently done herself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Becoming and being your own boss is not easy and is not for everyone.
- If you are stuck in a day job you don’t like or feel is not helping you to progress, becoming your own boss is worth investigating.
- Before you do anything, decide what you want to get out of being your own boss.
- Do your research – is it financially viable? What have you got to offer that is different from your competitors?
- Understand how much money you will need to get started and work out where to get it and how much it will cost.
- Make sure you have some cash reserves to live on that will take you through the initial start-up phase.
- Consider testing out your business idea as a side hustle.
- If you don't particularly enjoy your job, but it's a means to an end, as long as you're enjoying what that allows you to do that is OK too.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If this is something that you've been thinking about and you want to do, then, you know, do it, give it a go. ´
‘Ask yourself what type of business you want to start. Is it a lifestyle business? maybe it's actually as simple as being a consultant, or a solopreneur.’
‘Everyone's situation is different but think about your risk appetite.’
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
