What’s stopping you from quitting your job and starting a business?
You’d be surprised to learn that for most of us, the answer is fear.
Fear of failure, fear of uncertainty, and fear of other people’s opinions.
What we don’t realize is that, when we embrace that fear, we open ourselves up to a new life full of opportunities and possibilities!
In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, business coach, and founder of Urban20Something: Leah Gervais.
After years of preparing to become a lawyer, Leah had a gut feeling that she was making the wrong decision and decided to refuse acceptance into law school.
With this newfound freedom and uncertainty, Leah immersed herself in the online world of entrepreneurship and founded Urban20Something – her first side hustle blog with one goal in mind – to help younger professionals successfully scale an online side hustle to the point of it exceeding the usual 9-5 job.
Since then, Leah has turned this side hustle into a full-size, 7-figure business, and is passionate about helping her clients prioritize their dreams, all while achieving financial freedom.
