A lot of people dream of starting a business, not that many people actually leave the comfort and security of the corporate world to chart their own path as an entrepreneur.

In today’s episode, one of my former clients Catherine Andrews shares her experience transitioning from her cushy job in corporate communications to being a full-time life coach. In the interview, Catherine shares:

• The baby steps she took in the direction of entrepreneurship even while she was still working in her corporate job. 
• What she wishes she did to prepare for the transition out of her 9-5, even besides having a financial cushion.
• The importance of building accountability structures for ourselves and staying away from busywork.
• Three tips for dealing with intimidating business tasks that are way outside of our comfort zone.
• How being an entrepreneur has been a personal development accelerator.

Catherine’s story will encourage anyone who is considering taking the leap out of a traditional job as well as those who already have.
