From VP to Entrepreneur: What No One Tells You About Starting Over After Corporate w/Renée Goings

#2: Everybody loves to talk about quitting a 9-to-5 job like it's easy. But nobody really talks about why the leap is necessary and what happens afterwards; the burnout that pushed you out the door, the number crunching to make sure the leap financially makes sense and the identity crisis on the other side.In this episode, I kick back with my oldest friend, Renée Goings, a former Vice President turned co-owner of Done Dissertation, to talk about what it's really like to leave corporate leadership behind and build a six-figure family business with her husband. We get into the real, raw side of entrepreneurship: the identity shifts that come with going from corporate to entrepreneur, the emotional hurdles of joining a spouse-led business, finding your lane as a co-founder, and what it means to build something that reflects your values, your voice, and your vision, not just your resume.In this episode we cover:How Renée planned her corporate exit without sacrificing her lifestyleThe emotional and mental hurdles of joining a spouse-led businessCreating structure as a Type-A entrepreneurSales, systems, and finding your lane as a co-founderIf you're thinking about leaving your 9–5, joining a family-owned business, navigating the transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, or simply redefining what success looks like for you, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Done Dissertation Website https://thedonedissertation.com/Follow Done Dissertation on social media: YouTube and LinkedIn📲 Connect with me https://www.kerihenderson.com/links📧 Subscribe to The Kickback With Keri Newsletter https://www.kerihenderson.com/newsletterEnjoying the podcast?
