So You Want to Leave Your 9-5

Leaving the 9-5, it’s a dream for so many and maybe your #1 one goal this upcoming year. 

We get it. We left our 9-5s too. 

While we could go on and on about strategy and tactics, today we’re going to talk about how leaving your 9-5 behind and building your own business will be the biggest course in self-development, confidence and resilience one could ever take on. We'll talk about what to expect and how to get through some of the most difficult hurdles. 

In this episode, we’re talking about something you rarely hear about business building and something you can’t afford to miss. 

Become the Modern Gen X Woman who is seen, heard, goes after the money, success and recognition she deserves.

In this episode, you’ll learn why you: 

Must have conviction in what you are doing. You need to believe in what you’re doing and why it matters. 

Have the confidence to set boundaries. You’ll need to have time and space in your life to work on your business. You’ll have to say no… a lot. 


Need to “protect your baby”. Many people, some close to you will not really understand your vision. Share with those that support your vision. 


Must clearly articulate who you help and how you help them. Don’t babble, overtalk to compensate or talk in jargon. 


Have to be comfortable having a sales conversation and asking for money. Learn to get comfortable saying this is what I charge and not not second-guess your value. 


Need to understand your own personal risk threshold. 


Have to build your network, it’s everything in building your business.
