What's it been like for me to be a full-time entrepreneur for the last two years?

There seems to be a trend right now in talking about how going out on your own is the goal or the only way to be happy without all the constraints of a 9-to-5 or corporate job. I don’t agree that it’s the path for everyone or even that it should be the goal.

It’s now been 2 years since I left my corporate job as a VP of sales to a tech company to become a full-time entrepreneur. In this episode, I'm sharing the good, bad, and ugly of what I’ve learned about full-time entrepreneurship.

Highlights:

  • Why I left my corporate job to become an entrepeneur
  • The reasons why this shift has been fulfilling
  • Why setting my own schedule is both a positive and negative
  • The disadvantages of being a solo entrepreneur
  • Two big things I've struggled with since leaving my corporate job
