Are you a corporate woman with a powerful dream of launching your own business, but the "how" feels overwhelming, especially when it comes to your finances? You're not alone. I recently joined Christine Luken on the Money is Emotional podcast to dive deep into exactly these challenges and, more importantly, the solutions.
I shared my own story—yes, even the reluctant parts of becoming an entrepreneur!—and the critical lessons learned along the way. My goal is to help you move from feeling uncertain to feeling empowered and financially prepared to make your entrepreneurial dreams a reality.
This episode is for you if you're looking to:
Confidently map out your financial runway: Understand exactly what you need to have in place before you hand in your notice.
Navigate the income shift: Bust the myths around moving from a predictable salary to a variable income stream and learn how to manage it effectively.
Build a sustainable business without burnout: Discover how to set healthy boundaries from day one and avoid recreating the corporate stress you're leaving behind.
Cultivate an unstoppable entrepreneurial mindset: Uncover the internal shifts that are just as crucial as the external strategies for long-term success.
This conversation is filled with practical, actionable advice designed to help you build that solid economic foundation and confidently step into your new role as a business owner.
