In April 2010, I had no idea my life was about to change forever. By the end of the month, we had been laid off, with one-month’s severance pay in our pockets. That’s when I told myself: Never again! So I decided to go out on my own, become an entrepreneur, and start my own business.
In this workshop, I will share with you everything I’ve learned in 17 years of entrepreneurship – from how to start on your own in a foreign country and in a foreign language to the systems you need to consider to turn your fledgling business into a sustainable success in the long term.
If you work a corporate job and entrepreneurship is your dream, this workshop is for you.
WHAT IS FREEDOM BY DESIGN?
Professionals striving to leave their corporate lives behind to start on their own face several real dangers:
- Choosing a completely new line of work – simply because they are allergic to their past profession.
- The nitty-gritty of daily operations, which in a corporate role was probably done by someone else.
- Poorly managing their financial runway – investing in all the wrong places while savings are dwindling by the day.
- Running in every direction at once, spreading themselves too thin, and, ultimately, burning out.
- Not building systems that are meant to make the business predictable, scalable, and, ultimately, sellable.
But the greatest illusion I’ve encountered among managers leaving corporate careers to start on their own is that now they’re finally free to do whatever they want – and that freedom will come to them automatically, hand in hand with predictable revenues.
Allow me to burst your bubble.
Freedom is a gift.
One that you build every day, with every choice you make.
To experience real freedom as an entrepreneur, you need to be incredibly intentional about the choices you make, the people you work with, and the systems you decide to build.
After all, entrepreneurship is a whole new profession. 10% of it is doing what you love – the rest is creating the conditions so you can do what you love and be paid for it.
In this workshop, I will teach you the minimum viable mindset (MVM) you need to embrace if you want to leave your corporate job and start on your own.
WHAT TOPICS WILL WE COVER TOGETHER DURING THIS WORKSHOP?
During this workshop, we will look at:
- How you can prepare yourself for a corporate exit leading to entrepreneurship long before you actually need to take the big leap.
- Your financial runway – and how long it should be so you can start on your own with limited stress.
- The skills you need to start sharpening so you can become a successful entrepreneur and founder of your own business.
- The IMPENETRABLE DECAGON® – my proprietary framework for founders and CEOs enabling them to address ten business processes and master them successfully.
- Your concrete next steps if you want to leave corporate and start a business on your own this year.
During this workshop, we will engage in robust self-reflection. Come prepared to be fully present AND to take copious notes.
After all, this is your ME-TIME – protect it with all your might.
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE WITH AT THE END OF THIS WORKSHOP?
At the end of this workshop, you will leave with:
- A clear understanding of what you need to know and master if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur on your own.
- A clear idea of your financial runway that could help you start on your own with little stress.
- A clear framework covering 10 processes you need to master to turn your new business into a well-oiled cash machine.
- A detailed, step-by-step action plan to leave your corporate role and start on your own.
- Inspiration, motivation, and drive to overcome your fears, take the big leap and start your own business this year or in the near future.
