Talking Career Change Podcast

If you've ever wondered whether changing from employee to entrepreneur was possible, if you've ever contemplated leaving behind your current career to embark on your own business venture but stopped yourself because it seemed like a dream not a realistic goal? This episode is for you.

Today I talk with Amy of Amy Annetts Marketing about her transition from corporate career woman to successful business owner. Amy sheds light on the fact that you make this change as gradual or as rapid as you wish and shares her experience with making sure she had the right support available to her to make the journey a success.
