Bye-Bye Corporate

In this episode, Bye-Bye Corporate, I talked with Deborah Stephenson about what it was like to leave her corporate career after 40 years, not to retire, but to start something new.

Said Deborah about approaching the decision moment:

"And so it was a really, really frightening, awful moment at that time because ... I felt pretty trapped at that point because I was like, at my age, if I leave here, I'm going have a difficult time finding another job. And it's probably going to be the same job. It's just a different company. So I knew that was probably not the right solution either. That was more than a year, almost a year of that kind of feeling of I have to do something different, I have to do something different."

We talked about:
* How she decided and what it was like after she took the leap.
* Trial and error – what it’s really like to start a business from scratch. The fun, the challenges and the ‘oops’ moments.
* Accounting for money during the transition.
And more…

If you're sitting on the fence this conversation is for you.
