Quit Your Job And Become Your Own Boss

Brave Bold Brilliant Podcast

Jeannette shares her insights on the journey of quitting a corporate job to become your own boss. Drawing from her extensive experience as a CEO in the global travel industry, she discusses the allure and challenges of entrepreneurship, and outlines three approaches to making the leap: having a clear plan, responding to unexpected circumstances, or starting a side hustle

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are three main ways to transition from a corporate job to entrepreneurship: having a clear plan with a deadline, responding to unexpected circumstances like redundancy, or starting a side hustle to test the waters.
• Before making the leap, assess your personal finances to ensure you have enough savings to cover your essential expenses for at least six months. This will allow you to focus on building your business without the stress of immediate financial pressure.
• Surround yourself with supportive individuals, including mentors or coaches who have experience in entrepreneurship. Their guidance can be invaluable during challenging times.
• Entrepreneurship involves risks and potential failures. It's crucial to develop a thick skin and be prepared for setbacks, as they are a natural part of the journey.

BEST MOMENTS

"It sounds incredibly glamorous to quit your job, become your own boss, but it isn’t for everyone."

"You are not going to be making profit normally straight away. If you are, I mean, amazing, fantastic. But be prepared for that."

"You need to make sure that you’ve got something there, you’ve got a bit of a rainy day fund in the event that it takes a while for this business to get off the ground."

"Entrepreneurs fail all the time. They take risks, and setting up your own business involves taking risks."

"If this isn’t a dream that you’ve had to leave your job and become your own boss, give it a go."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.
