So, I certainly know a thing or two about working in jobs I’ve hated. That’s literally all I’ve done since leaving college 8 years ago. But I had bills to pay and no “employer-approved” experience for any of jobs that I really wanted, so I just had to roll with the punches and deal with it to make ends meet. Eventually, I decided to take matters into my own hands to pursue my business full time to create a job I’d love, instead of continuing to beg for it year after year. So I’m happy to finally be able to move on. I know many people are in the same situation I was in, having to work in jobs they hate, just to get by, so I wanted to give you a few suggestions help you stay afloat until you can move on to your next chapter in life.

This podcast was a little off the cuff, but in this episode, I discuss CHANGE. I felt inspired to talk about this because since starting my business full time, I’ve been attending a lot of local networking events for entrepreneurs. However, I’ve been meeting a lot of people who want to start businesses or who have all these cool ideas, but when it comes to executing and doing something about it, they’re not doing much at all. I know I used to be like this myself, so I’m definitely not judging. But I started thinking about why.

I got my start in corporate America in sales. It totally wasn’t planned, but after searching for a permanent full time job for about a year and a half after finishing college, it was my only option. I got into a corporate sales training program and the rest is history.

Looking back on it, though I complained about it a lot, I’m now seeing that I gained a lot of valuable skills.

Too often in life, we let fear RULE our lives. We let it stop us from going after what we really want. We let it make us settle for less than we’re capable of. And we let it keep us stuck and unhappy. I knew that by diving into entrepreneurship, that I’d have some mindset work to do to really go for it and to enjoy the process of building a new business.
