Welcome to the How of Business with your host, Henry Lopez, the podcast that helps you start,

run, and grow your small business. And now, here is your host.

Welcome to this episode of The How of Business. This is Henry Lopez. If you've ever dreamed of

leaving your job to start your own business, but you feel stuck by maybe by fear, uncertainty,

or maybe golden handcuffs, you're making way too much money now or the prospects of too much

money. Then this episode is for you. I'm going to walk you through what I've observed

as some of the challenges, having made the shift myself, the transition from the corporate world

to business ownership, I'll address

some of the common challenges that I see and that I faced, as well as what I think is required

in a way of a mindset shift and the practical steps to help you make that leap from the corporate

world or from the job that you have today to becoming a business owner and an entrepreneur.

or a corporate career to going to the perceived risk, and actually there is a lot of risk,

but mostly the perceived risk of starting your own business. Why is that

transition so hard for most people, including myself when I was making that transition? I have found

that it is as much the emotional or mental aspects of it that are more difficult than even the

real financial risk components of why we don't make the transition. And I'm going to explore both of those.
