Summary
Today I'm joined by Nicole Colwell to discuss how she helps executives leave the corporate world and start their own businesses. As many of us know it's never as simple as deciding to quit, but with planning and the right mindset you can build the life you're dreaming of.
What You'll Learn In This Episode:
- Why Nicole likens the move from corporate to entrepreneurship to being an ex-pat and the benefits of taking your time to transition.
- Nicoles' opinion and insights on 'The Great Resignation' trend we've seen post-pandemic and the rise of 'Boomerang Employees'.
- The mindset challenges that come with leaving a corporate career, and the power of designing your life and making conscious decisions.
- Why after 20 years Nicole decided to leave her corporate job and how she helps others now do the same as well as where to start if you're dreaming of starting your own business.
