Are you thinking about leaving employment and starting your own business, but not sure where to begin?
This short video chat is for you.
Shandra talks with Jules Brooke and Jane Counsel to explore the challenges of making the transition from employee to business owner challenging, and why building a business that fits your life, values and capacity matters just as much as making it successful.

In this video chat, Shandra is joined by Jules Brook from She’s the Boss and Jane Counsel from Thrive 4 Women to explore what happens when women move from employment into running their own business.

They talk about the excitement and possibilities that come with creating something of your own, as well as some of the challenges that can make the transition harder than expected.

They explore some of the common traps women can fall into, including struggling with confidence, being too broad and giving themselves no clear structure once the routines of a workplace are gone. They also discuss why burnout can happen quickly when a business isn’t designed around the person running it.

The conversation looks at practical ways to create a business that is aligned with your values, purpose and life, from finding a clear niche and testing your ideas to creating sustainable boundaries, replacing lost structure and taking a lower-risk side-business approach.

The goal isn’t simply to make the leap, but to build a business that supports the life you actually want.

If you’re ready to explore your next chapter and want dedicated time, practical guidance and support to turn your ideas into a business, the Making The Leap Retreat could be for you.

Join Shandra, Jules and Jane for a weekend of strategy, reflection and connection designed to help you get clear on what you want to build and how to make it a reality, even if you only have part-time hours.
