Ep 79. My Biggest Lessons After 7 Years as a Full-Time Entrepreneur: Important Tips for Entrepreneurs

Welcome back to The Sarah Centrella Show! SUBSCRIBE (and REVIEW) on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Audible or anywhere you get your podcast.

Today on the show I'm sharing my REAL, RAW, and HONEST journey of what life as an entrepreneur has been like the past 7 years. These are my biggest lessons, tips, coaching, and advice to new or would-be entrepreneurs.  Thinking of quitting your day job to start your passion business, listen to this first!

This week marks 7 years since I left my corporate job as a National Sales Director for a high-tech company, to start my coaching business, and let me tell you... it's been a journey! It's been filled with dramatic highs and lows and I've questioned myself a million times along the way, but what I've never done is, quit. It's hard to believe that I've actually been at this over twice as long as I ever stayed at a single job my entire life!

Through this journey I've learned so much, most of it the HARD WAY, so that's why I always keep it real about what it's actually like to make this giant move, it's not all just a shiny IG story! It's the reason I teach all aspects of starting and running a business in my life coach training program, to me, that is as important as learning how to coach. (If you're interested in working with me privately to elevate your business or any aspect of your life, you can apply here).

Here's some of the advice I wish someone had given me.
