5 Ways I Sabotaged My Own Business Without Realizing It

from Learned by Doing · host Maegan Tomela Burke

I’m one of those people who believe that self-employment is safer than being traditionally employed. (I don’t think it’s “easier” though. Choose your hard.)I accidentally fell into self-employment and entrepreneurship in December 2020. I was fresh out of a PTSD diagnosis and had found habit tracking to be pivotal to my recovery. I decided to package my tracking techniques into a workshop, that workshop paid my rent for the next month, and the rest was history.In case you’re considering working for yourself, here are the 5 key lessons that are shaping how I rebuild my consulting career (B2B) and launch new group courses (B2C).You can find this pod on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Substack.
