Ep. 104: How to Quit Your Day Job Without Replacing Your Full Time Income First

 

Today, I’m chatting with my very first email subscriber and 5 Day Challenger EVER!!

Jenn Walker Wall is the founder of Work Wonders Coaching + Consulting where she helps people land new jobs and succeed at work. She’s also co-host of the Making Life Work Podcast. She has worked at the Sloan School of Management at MIT as well as Harvard University, and is currently an Adjunct Instructor of Sociology at Lesley University.
When she’s not helping clients land interviews or launch their own businesses, you can find her cooking up a storm in her kitchen, usually while listening to true crime podcasts.
Today we're talking about:
  • Jenn’s transition from side hustle to self-employed and why she made the decision to quit her job WITHOUT replacing her full-time income.
  • How to take the tech pressure off of yourself and build your business through referrals.
  • Where you might get stuck when making the decision to quit your day job and how to overcome it.
  • How to find your zone of genius if you’re not sure what it is.
  • How to find the common thread in all of your experiences to tell your story.
  • Why it’s okay to not be on social media and what to do instead.
  • The one thing you can do to ensure that you get customers.
  • Balancing being a business owner and working IN the business.
  • The best investment Jenn has made in her business.
