TLS #006 with Michelle Ward: Career Streamlining and "Boob Cancer"

Today’s Lively Show episode packs in a lot of great takeaways on several topics including streamlining your career (or business), transitioning from a day job, and facing cancer as an entrepreneur. To talk about these topics, I asked the spunky and energetic Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach. She’s a life coach, “boob cancer” survivor, and friend that I am honored to have on the show. Though the topic of cancer is discussed, the tactics and steps that Michelle took could apply to anyone going through a difficult health challenge or even perhaps a small business maternity leave. This episode is perfect for those who want to learn more about how to handle difficult health challenges while self-employed, or who are feeling overwhelmed by the wide range of their careers.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT   How Michelle’s broadway dream brought her to a corporate job and eventually to life coaching. How Michelle baby stepped her way out of a corporate job and into her coaching practice full-time. How “boob cancer” (as Michelle calls it) affected her life and coaching practice. The policies and boundaries Michelle created to accommodate her treatment (these actions can apply to any entrepreneur with a serious illness, life change, or maternity leave). How Michelle maintained the same income year over year – with cancer treatments and less coaching. Why streamlining your career or business at times can be a powerfully positive choice. (35:30) What Michelle would tell someone just starting out on this journey.   SHOW NOTES   The International Coach Academy An Effective Escape (workbook) 2012 By The Numbers (post) Grown Up Gigs Career Camp The Declaration of You!
