Ep 3: My Creator Story: How I Left My 9 to 5 to Become a Full-Time Creator

In this episode, we're diving deep into how I left my nine-to-five job and became a full-time content creator, building a successful multi-six figure business through social media. I'll walk you through the exact steps I took to transition safely from my corporate job to running my own thriving business. I'll be talking about the importance of following your gut feeling, something that guided me during my transition, my realizing that the corporate life wasn't for me anymore, and how I started gathering freelance clients on the side while still in my nine-to-five job, a crucial step that gave me a safety net when I finally decided to quit. I'll also emphasize the importance of having a support system and a clear offering before making the big leap. It's essential to have something solid to offer your potential clients. I'll discuss the importance of professional branding and reaching out to your sphere of influence to get the word out about your services. I'll share the real challenges of starting your own business, like the stress and the need to get legal stuff sorted, including setting up an LLC and ensuring you're protected legally. You'll hear about my journey of hiring my first employee, dealing with growing pains, and the excitement and stress that comes with handling multiple roles. Lastly, I'll talk about the amazing platform Stan, which revolutionized how I managed my coaching and digital products. It streamlined the process and helped me grow my business further.
