#096 – Taking the Plunge into Solopreneurship | Interview with Jennifer Filla

Jennifer Filla, founder of Aspire Research Group and Prospect Research Institute joins me in this episode as she shares how she made her transition from her corporate job to becoming a solopreneur. Jen felt stifled by her corporate job and knew she wanted to create a career and business for herself to fit a lifestyle she where she could travel, work remotely, and have the freedom of being more in control of her time. In 2007, Jen took the leap right in the middle of the pool, as she puts it. Although she doesn't necessarily recommend such an abrupt change, she felt she was at a point in her life where she could take a few more risks. Jen was one of my first virtual assistant clients. Over the years, I've learned so much from her. With every conversation, I learn. I receive better insight, perspective, and clarity for my business…and today's interview is without exception. I know you'll enjoy the conversation just as much as I did as Jen shares her experience and journey in leaving the traditional 9-5 in lieu of pursuing a business of her very own where she could and does work from anywhere in the world.   Additional Resources: Jennifer Filla Aspire Research Group Prospect Research Institute Podcast | #016 Building and Managing a Virtual Team | Interview with Jennifer Filla F-Secure | Anti-virus software LastPass | Password Protection Software (affiliate link) Dropbox You Can't Teach a Kid to Ride a Bike at a Seminar | David H.
