In this episode, I share my personal journey of quitting my corporate job to pursue entrepreneurship, detailing the emotional challenges and practical steps involved. I provide you with five essential tips for those considering leaving their 9-to-5 jobs, emphasising the importance of preparation, financial stability, and strategic planning.

My 5 Essential Tips:

  1. Don't just quite straight away - build your side hustle, validate your idea, starting building your client list
  2. Build a financial runway
  3. Get up close and personal with your numbers - make projections
  4. Lay the foundations - education/upskilling, building your website, register your business name
  5. Create a roadmap - action plan, goals, new offers etc
