In episode 94, we’re talking about what happens when career clarity sparks something bigger, a vision for your life.

For many of my clients, clarity doesn’t just lead to the next job title or salary increase. It opens the door to freedom, creativity, and the possibility of building a business alongside their career. In this episode, I share how clients are exploring both paths at once, from testing side business ideas to creating boundaries that prevent burnout, and why you don’t have to choose between being a leader in your career and building something of your own.

In this episode, I cover:

• How career clarity often reveals deeper values and life goals beyond titles and paychecks

• Why you don’t need to quit your job to start a side business

• The mindset shift required to move away from “all or nothing” thinking

• How to experiment with small projects before going all in

• Practical strategies to balance career advancement with entrepreneurship

  
  

If you’ve been wondering whether you have to choose between stability and freedom, or career growth and entrepreneurship, this conversation will show you that it’s possible to build both, without burning yourself out.

Key Takeaways:

• Career clarity can reveal bigger life visions, not just job titles

• You don’t need to burn it all down to start a side business

• Experimentation creates clarity without the pressure of full commitment

• Boundaries, timelines, and support systems make balancing both paths possible
