Today I’m talking with Jenny Blaisdell of Confetti Social, a virtual assistant and Pinterest Expert who quit her day job to pursue her passion of self-employment.
Jenny is a social media strategist + coach at Confetti Social who helps female entrepreneurs up-level their biz one social media post at a time. She also hosts the Savvy Social Hour, which strives to help passionate women up-level their businesses and become rockstar entrepreneurs in no time. When she's not working on her business or recording podcast episodes, she's hanging out with her hubby and goldendoodle pup.
In this episode, we’ll dissect her decision to leave her day job, and we’ll talk about:
- How important it is to know your value when it comes to getting your first job out of college!
- Why starting a blog NOW can help you land your first day job, and support your side hustle.
- How she planned and prepared to leave her day job.
- How she approached her employer to go part-time during her side hustle transition.
- How her decision to leave her steady paycheck affected her relationship.
- Why Pinterest is like a visual Google.
- Why patience is key with Pinterest.
- Why Pinterest is great for growing your email list.
