The reason I coach career professionals to turn their expertise into an online business that replaces their 9-to-5 income is I want more people over 40 to experience the fulfillment of creating and implementing a business that aligns with their purpose and expertise.
I started my business out of desperation to escape a toxic, soul draining, 50+ hour a week 9-to-5.
When it came to simply finding another job, I found doors closing in my face. After so many job interviews I would break down into tears because I was confused how I could have all the credentials (Master's Degree) and 20+ years of experience and still not be able to find a job in my industry that matched my qualifications.
Considering I was coming from a work environment where my ideas were ignored and my contribution devalued, I was seeking a place where my views and thoughts and vision for my work would be welcomed. I quickly realized that experience wasn't valued anymore in the workplace as much as compliance was.
The reality is, once you get to a certain age (I was over 40 at the time) with the track record and experience that backs up your resume, the "shut up and do what I say" isn't going to go over well anymore in your mind and spirit.
So when the traditional job search no longer worked for me, I did everything I could to find a way to support me and my daughter. This meant creating my own income.
Little did I know back then, starting a business was easy. Growing and profiting from what you start was the hard part.
So needless to say, my entrepreneurial journey was not a smooth one.
For years I struggled to earn money when I first started my business. I wasted a lot of time and money watching, reading, listening, and downloading everything I saw online. So much so, I was paralyzed when it came time to implement all of the information I consumed.
Then I realized the problem was I was looking externally on social media and YouTube for someone to tell me and teach me a skill that would allow me to be successful in business. This means, I was waiting for someone else to validate me as knowing "Enough" to be an entrepreneur.
This way of thinking made me feel like I knew nothing at all. When in fact, I already had skills and expertise that I could monetize. It wasn't until I started believing in myself, trusting my expertise, and investing in the right coach that I grew into the entrepreneur and coach that I am today.
By hopping around and looking for a "Magical Business Idea" that was going to rescue me from never stepping foot in a 9-to-5 again, I was actually diminishing my value and potential worth in the marketplace.
Not to mention most of the random business ideas I was pursuing were never going to generate enough revenue for me to see a difference in a bank account.
In fact, I spent my entire 9-to-5 career coaching and developing programs to help others develop skills or achieve some sort of transformation. So I didn't need someone to teach me something new. I just needed a coach to believe in my expertise enough to help me package and price what I already knew.
I am on a mission to coach and educate professional women to do exactly what I did without all of the complexity and overwhelm typically found in the online world.
