I’m a business confidante and guide, community builder, and podcast host who helps corporate refugees start, run, and grow their businesses.

I know first-hand the anguished self-doubt, money worries, and fear of the future that come with leaving a corporate career and going it alone, and I have just one word for you:

Don’t.

• Don’t assume success will happen overnight
• Don’t be afraid to try it someone else’s way
• Don’t worry the joy out of things

I learned these lessons the hard way, and they’re the backbone of the work I do, supporting my clients through defining their goals, setting up structure and processes, and keeping a positive outlook.

We all make business mistakes, and perhaps the biggest is trying to do everything by yourself.

Asking works.

Community works.

I learned those the hard way, too.
