Do You Want to Know How to Quit the Corporate World and Create a Profitable, Meaningful and SUSTAINABLE Business that is Right For You?
If you feel like a fish out of water, overwhelmed by the amount of new things you need to learn, and you don’t know where to start, congratulations, you are right on schedule!
Making the decision to leave a career and guaranteed paycheck behind is probably the biggest decision you could make in your adult life, other than getting married or having children. But you may not be prepared for what often comes next.
If you’re feeling…
- Overwhelmed by the amount that you need to know to get your business started
- Paralyzed by the feeling that you need to do it all, right now, and you don’t know where to start
- Worried that you aren’t going to be able to make enough money and not sure what to charge
- Fuzzy about the best way to get clients, and get paid
- Completely confused about marketing and all the things you’re “supposed to” be doing on and offline
- Freaked out that you are now outside of your career comfort zone
- Ready to work hard but afraid you won’t get it all done
- Like you’re completely on your own
Then… you’re completely normal!
(This is the part where I tell you my story and why you should listen to me )
I’ll get straight to the point because I’m sure, like me, you just want to find out what you need to know in the shortest amount of time possible.
I’ve worked in marketing and public relations for more than 20 years, and left a great number of high paying jobs behind, because I was searching for the just-the-right job. I found a near perfect one, after a particularly stressful and challenging one, but felt pulled in too many directions, got pneumonia and quit. Not the most effective transition plan!
However in my favor I had years of marketing knowledge, experience doing strategic planning and managing change processes, and a fabulous network – so I was able to move ahead very quickly and match, then double my previous salary in under two years.
But I can relate to the experience of change, and how to move through it. I completely underestimated what it would feel like. Exciting, intoxicating, scary and overwhelming all wrapped up in one anxious bundle. Perhaps you know what I mean. And another thing – if you’ve participated in the Entrepreneurs Unplugged Telesummit that I recently produced with Marcia Hoeck, you’ll know that I have been interviewing very successful entrepreneurs, most who came from a corporate background, and guess what - every single one of them told me a story about how they almost threw in the towel and got a REAL job because their businesses were at the breaking point. That was when they each made a decision to do what it takes, learn what they had to, and treat their business more seriously, and that's when they turned it all around.
Now, you may have left a very successful, high paying career, or not. You may be leaving voluntarily, or you may be an “accidental entrepreneur”… and you may get by just fine doing what you’ve always done and transfer seamlessly into your new role.
And that can work, until it doesn’t. I’ve seen that happen to many people and I was 100% determined not to let that happen to me.
Since I am by nature impatient, I did not wait to get to that point to make the changes and follow the steps I needed to create the business that was right, for ME. I did it, and you can too.
So if you’re looking for…
- A step-by-step plan to follow
- A reality check on what to expect and when
- Someone who can tell you what you should be spending your time and money on, so that you can build and grow your business quickly
- Advice on the best ways to set up, manage and market your business
- Insight into what you can expect to experience and how you might feel at each point in the process
Then let me help you! I can save you tons of time, money and stress.

If you are looking to separate the wheat from the chaff I can show you what to do, and in what order, to help you get your business headed in the right direction, and making money in a way that is custom-suited to you.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
ONE - Where to begin – setting up your business:
Find out where to start – the very first steps you can take long before you hang out your shingle
How to figure out what to offer, how much to charge and who to sell it to
TWO - Making the transition from the corporate employment world to being your own boss:
What to expect in the early days
How to get your first clients AND get paid what you should (which is probably more than you think)
THREE - Managing your business:
Figuring out what you need to spend your time on and how much
What time-saving, budget-friendly tools and resources you can use
FOUR - Marketing your business:
What “marketing musts” you absolutely need to master, fast
How to put your best foot forward – your image, and your company’s positioning
What to do first, and what will give you the biggest bang for your buck
What you can expect to pay and what you shouldn’t waste your money on
FIVE - Growing your business:
Analyzing your business and its potential and why you need to do this early
My Guarantee
I can’t promise you an overnight success, six figures in 90 days, or anything else, but I can tell you, that this seminar will help you get your brain out of overwhelm and give you concrete steps you can use. I will give you just the right balance of information, broken down into steps you can implement right away.
The ability to cut through the clutter and get to the most important point is something that I have always been able to do during my career and working with clients in my business.
You will be move from confusion to clarity, resistance to relief, “analysis paralysis” to performance because you will see not only what’s possible, but what action to take to get you there.
Sound like a plan?
