Interview with Coach and Entrepreneur Candice Bakx-Friesen

I talk with Candice Bakx-Friesen who is a realtor and started a money coaching business called Investor Smarts. She shares the challenges of work-life balance, being a working mother and entrepreneur, and the stigma or fear of being labeled a failure for trying something like a job or starting a business and realizing it's not for you and quitting to try something else. It's interesting how our jobs are so often tied to our identity and when we lose a job or find ourselves no longer fulfilled in a job, and/or want to change careers, we can have an identity crisis. We are more than what we do for a living. And our values, interests and needs change in different phases of our lives. Telling people what you want and are looking for is necessary in a successful career change. There is no one size fits all path for finding your ideal job or starting a business.  You can find Candice's business site, Investor Smarts here: investorsmarts.ca  Here is Candice's bio:  She is a Canadian woman entrepreneur, real estate agent, sales trainer, certified money coach, public speaker and mother of 4.
