330: ​​What I've Learned 5 Years Into Entrepreneurship

This week I’m walking you down the winding path I took to get Side Hustle Pro to where it is today. Starting in the corporate world at companies like NPR and Google, it took me several years and several career experiences to realize that I was meant for entrepreneurship. Once I decided to be my own boss, I had to develop a whole new set of skills.  In this episode, I’m giving you the inside look into: How and why I decided to quit my job and become a full time entrepreneur  Why I went back to school to get my MBA, and still continue to take courses, read, and seek out mentors to develop my business skills  The honest reality of entrepreneurship and how I’ve navigated it’s pros and cons Check out this episode and others on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube  This episode is brought to you by:  HubSpot Podcast Network- The audio destination for business professionals with content designed to help you listen, learn, and grow.
