BLB107: Behind The Scenes of My Transition from Corporate to Entrepreneur

The Balanced Lady Boss

The pandemic changed a lot of people’s perspectives on jobs.

For some, the loss of their job has pushed them to find alternative paths. For others, they decided to try something new through a side hustle or make the leap to pursue their passions and dreams as their main gig.

But when people talk about living the life of their dreams, they often don't talk honestly enough about the different experiences that come as a part of that process.

That’s where the learning really comes from.

I’m a couple of weeks into full-time entrepreneurship and there have been a lot of lessons on my journey of surrendering to the sweetness of entrepreneurship.

Today I’m taking you behind the scenes and giving you all the tea on the ups and downs that went into getting to this point. I’m sharing exactly how I made the transition, the mistakes that were made, tips and recommendations for what to do, the approach I took to planning this massive pivot, and more.

I hope you enjoy this very open conversation and that you’ll pick up some tips that you can use in your transition from corporate to entrepreneurship. Enjoy the epic!
