So You Want to Start a Business? A Reality Check with a Side of Encouragement
Thinking about quitting your 9-to-5 and diving into entrepreneurship?
In this episode, I deliver a bit of a reality check on when starting a business makes sense and when it's better to hit pause. This isn’t your “manifest millions” pep talk—it’s an honest look at what it really takes to launch and sustain a business, from solving real problems to surviving those early, low-revenue months.
You’ll learn:
✅ Green flags that signal you're ready to start a business
🚩 Red flags that suggest it's not the right time
⚖️ How to test the waters before taking the leap
Whether you're itching to turn your side hustle into a full-time gig or just curious if entrepreneurship is right for you, this episode is your dose of tough love and motivation.
👉 Action Homework: Build your personal startup checklist using the red and green flags from this episode. If you're still feeling fired up after that, it's time to make your move.
