Ep17-Moving from Corporate to Consulting with Karen Laos
1/10/23 - Moving from Corporate to Consulting with Karen Laos
Indeed there is no one way or “right” way to go from corporate to entrepreneurship. In today’s episode, I interview Karen Laos (see her bio, below) and we “compare notes” about our own journeys.
If you’re on the fence, or ready to jump, into being your own coach or consultant, this is THE episode to listen to. But make sure you have a pen and pad (or your laptop) ready to take notes!
Some of the topics we discuss are:
What questions did you ask yourself before leaving your corporate role and moving to consulting?
What was the financial transition like to go from a steady paycheck to a business owner?
If you could go back and do it again, would you do anything differently?
If there’s someone who’s thinking about making the corporate-to-consulting jump in 2023, what advice would you give them?
What advice would you give someone thinking about breaking out on their own and who is listening to this podcast as they drive to work?
Make sure you reach out to Karen if any of the absolute gold nuggets she shares was helpful or encouraging.
And until next time, may your week be filled with love and profit!
