#2 - Take the Leap from 9-5 to Running Your Own Business

How To Be A Handmade Boss

I've been right where you are, ready to leap into the world of entrepreneurship. In this episode, I'm sharing my journey from a forensic science career to crafting my successful handmade jewellery business.
Ever felt like you're just not cut out for the 9-5 life? I've been there, wrestling with career choices and giving in to societal expectations. But let me tell you, the moment I embraced my passion for jewellery making, everything changed. In this episode, you'll hear the highs, the lows, and the messy in-between.
Did I face challenges? Absolutely! I learned the hard way that a creative passion doesn't mean you'll know everything about running a business. Budgeting, pricing, and fulfilment – these were new things I had to grapple with while still clinging to the security of my 9-5 job. I'm sharing how I prepared myself to make that leap from full-time employment to full-time entrepreneur and what I put in place before I could cut ties with my regular paycheck.
