Welcome to my very first solo podcast. This is a part of my weekly series called Wisdom Bites where I will be sharing my failures, mistakes, disasters and wins so you can learn from my 40,000+ hours of experience and avoid these as you transition or scale into a profitable and scalable coaching, consulting or service-based business. These 15-minute wisdom bites will be delivered each Monday and this is episode #1 of this series titled - Starting a business is easy, creating it is hard but becoming it is harder.

In this episode I break down three parts to starting, creating and becoming a successful business owner or entrepreneur based on my experience, especially if you want to transition out of your corporate senior role and start a consulting business or you have already started your business but you feel like you are still the worlds best kept secret. 

This is what I cover in this episode: 

1. Making the decision to start a business is easy. Once you have made the decision you are halfway there
2. Implementing the moving parts is hard
3. I digress for a few moments and speak to people who are in a corporate role and desperately want to leave and start their own business. This is what I want to say DON’T LEAVE YOUR JOB UNTIL YOU HAVE A CONTINGENCY PLAN IN PLACE.
4. Why you need to create a contingency plan
5. Don’t learn all the moving parts – it takes years and by the time you learn it, it will be obsolete
6. Belong to a tribe
7. Get comfortable being uncomfortable
8. Accept the discomfort
9. Connect with emotions
10. Activate your Creative genius
