Lauren Allen of the Corporate School Dropout podcast and Right Hand Business Coaching considers herself a corporate full-time job survivor, who knows what it’s like to choose the life you want over an office and schedule you hate.
I met Lauren inside Pat Flynn’s Power Up Podcasting course which is where I learned the ins and outs of podcasting, and after we chatted for like 5 minutes I said, wait, let’s stop talking about this – do you want to be a guest on Pep Talks for Side Hustlers so I can ask you about all of this on the podcast?
Lauren works with people who want to drop out of corporate, who have a dream business, and are tired of waiting and doubting whether it will work. She gives people a clear plan of action, and helps them clear away uncertainty and helps them get life out of their way.
Today we’re talking about:
- How Lauren dropped out of the corporate world, moved to San Diego and started her own business
- How Lauren took her corporate project manager skills, pivoted to a different audience and created her business
- How to take action to overcome the fears of figuring out what you don’t know
- Lauren’s definition of a corporate school drop out
- How Lauren structures her schedule to better manage her time
- The importance of allowing enough time for the fear of putting yourself out there
- How clearing physical clutter can help with mental clutter
- The daily podcasts Lauren listens to
- The advice Lauren would give someone who is struggling to grow their side hustle
- The importance of narrowing down your focus and doing one or two things really well
