Not everyone is ready to leave their 9-5 job but if you’re thinking about it, Megan Giles is proof you can succeed on your own.
In this episode, Ben and Deb talk with Megan Giles about how she quit her corporate job cold turkey, found a supportive community and started making connections that helped her focus on the value she offers.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
- Quitting the corporate world without a plan
- The power of truly investing in yourself
- Benefits of networking with like-minded, hyper-focused people
Must-listen moments:
[00:09:36] Prior to quitting the corporate world, I would go meet friends after work every day. That completely shifted to going to networking events…so my social life went from strictly friends and fun to networking events with other business folks.
[00:23:15] Being part of that community is what really helped me take off…and then flipping that mindset to where it doesn't matter how many hours I spend on this thing, if I am delivering value, then that's what you're paying me for, the value that I deliver.
[00:26:03] If you want to be serious about going out on your own and being in business, you need to be willing to put some money down and join another group of other folks who are similarly serious and willing to commit money and capital.
