How to Build Confidence in Business: Lessons from a Multi-6-Figure Academic Turned Business Coach

from Leaving Academia: Becoming a Freelance Editor

In this week's podcast episode, I chat with Nata Salvatori, Doctor of Physical Therapy, who left academia and never looked back. She turned a side-hustle photography gig into a multi-six-figure business—and now, as the founder of Accidental CEO, she helps entrepreneurs scale sustainably through delegation. We dive into:📣 How Nata made the leap from academia to entrepreneurship📣 Why academics already have the public speaking + teaching skills needed to market their business📣 The mindset shift that makes “selling” feel generous, not gross📣 Why you should delegate from day one—not when you’re already burned out📣 How confidence is a skill you build, not something you’re born with This episode is your sign to go for it—even if it’s messy, imperfect, or scary. You truly ARE capable of more, no matter what academia has told you. 📌 Resources Mentioned:Nata’s website: https://accidentalceo.coInstagram: @nataaccidentalceoNata's Podcast: Accidental CEOWant to end burnout and become an academic editor or coach?
