Ep 1 · She Took a Month Off - and Her Business Was Still There When She Got Back · Bonnie Schutz

Welcome to Episode 1 of Built On Your Terms. After nearly 30 years as a corporate executive assistant, Bonnie Schutz walked away in her late 40s to build her own version of freedom with Tandem Resource Solutions - a US-based remote-support agency with about 35 team members. In this episode, I sit down with Bonnie for the story of co-founding Tandem with her bestie at her last corporate job, finding her tribe of second-act women through her network, and arriving at one of the clearest definitions of freedom anyone has given on the show.KEY MOMENTS[01:26] Starting Tandem with her bestie[05:00] When corporate caught up with her[10:12] How she met Barbara Brooks (the funny version)[12:26] "Old network is your net worth"[24:41] Why owners aren't employees[30:03] The one-month sabbatical that proved everything[30:48] What freedom actually meansSTART YOUR FIRST $1,000 IN SIDE INCOMEFree 5-day bootcamp → https://sideincomestudios.com/bootcampABOUT THE GUESTBonnie Schutz, Founder & Owner of Tandem Resource Solutions (tandemresourcesolutions.com).
