When Entrepreneurship Feels Like Your Only Choice with Lori Jo Vest Ep 97

Enthusiastically Self-Employed: business tips, marketing tips, and LinkedIn tips for coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, solopreneurs & small business owners

Listen in to this candid chat about the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship on our latest podcast. This episode provides an abundance of insights, as Lori Jo of Popspeed Digital Marketingtakes us through the dance of partnership in both life and business.
We tackle head-on the reality that sometimes, life after an unexpected job loss isn't just about finding a new job—it's about crafting a new identity as a solopreneur, complete with the empowerment and the daunting challenge of health insurance navigation.
Imagine being part of an Accountability Lab group that gives you momentum. That's part of our shared story, where Lori Jo and I give you an insider look at how embracing a structured remote work setup can catapult personal and professional growth.
We also celebrate the courage it takes to swap the corporate safety net for the invigorating uncertainties of self-employment, and how passion projects can lead to the creation of a meaningful family legacy.
This episode doesn't skim over the nitty-gritty of entrepreneurship. We share the significance of networking and public speaking as tools not just for personal growth, but for broadening business horizons.
From library chats to LinkedIn strategies, we explore the necessity of pivoting and persistence. We're here to share our journey and encourage you to 'just keep swimming' through the unpredictable tides of self-employment.
