In this episode, i introduce you to my coach; Samantha Riley.

Of the thousands of businesses that are launched every day, only a handful end up being successful. With such tight margins, is quitting your day job worth the risk? Taking the first step of your entrepreneurial journey is always daunting. Whether you want to pursue entrepreneurship full time or just part-time, you’ll never be ready for the obstacles that you’ll meet along the way. 

Despite all the challenges that come with entrepreneurship, deciding to embark on this excursion can be hugely rewarding and, in some instances, life-changing.

 Entrepreneurs rarely start their businesses by quitting their jobs and going all-in. It’s usually an ease-in, making sure the business can stand on its own before deciding to quit. Although different strategies work for different people, being passionate, hard work, having a knack for learning, and having great ideas are what will make or break your entrepreneurial spirit.

In today’s episode, we take a deep dive into the world of entrepreneurship, discussing everything you need to know, how to tackle obstacles, and so much more. Everyone dreams of one day becoming an entrepreneur, but is it the right move for you?
