A class 8 years in the making - When I Grow Up

A class 8 years in the making - When I Grow Up This is me at my GraduLaunch party, celebrating my life coaching graduation the official launch of my biz! June 2009. Eight years. Thats how long Ive been prepping for my upcoming CreativeLive class,  Ditch Your Day Job. It was August 2007 when I got hired as an Executive Assistant at a financial consultancy firm. That same month, I started my life coaching certification classes. You would think that the first step for me to become a full-time life coach would be to build a website, or to start blogging, or to try to find clients. But it wasnt. It was to make sure I had the resources (a stable salary and health insurance) to be a grown-up (pay my rent, feed myself, go out for a Happy Hour or two). Without having to stress about money, I side hustled my way to being a Woman of the World (aka full-time entrepreneur) and used that job to build a strong foundation for my passion-based business. It took me 2 years and 7 months. That was 5 years and 3 months ago. Everything I did to get me herefrom seeking out that job to free up my nights and weekendsto working on my certification and/or business every dayto saving up a 5 month severanceto working with my first clients and building Phase One of my businessto the day I gave my notice and stepped into my When I Grow Up shoes 24/7and to never even coming close to having to activate my Plan B Ill share it all with you here. This Thursday and Friday. Live. For $0. I want you to be pro-active about quitting your soul-sucking job and doing work you love. I want you to build on what worked for me while learning from my mistakes. Ill share all I did and what I wish I did differently so that you can create your own Safety Net Action Plan (SNAP!) and know exactly when and  how youll ditch your day job. RSVP  right here and join me at 9am Pacific on Thursday. My 2007 self can hardly stand it!
