Ep. 213: Corporate School Dropout with Lauren Allen

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
