What steps can you take to maximise your chances of success?

In this episode, Rob Drummond (ActivateYourPodcast.com) and Anneve Hutchinson discuss the critical steps aspiring entrepreneurs should take before leaving corporate life, especially those starting a B2B consulting or coaching business.

Anneve emphasizes the importance of financial preparation, or a “war chest,” to sustain early business development without desperation. She introduces the concept of the "invisibility cloak," a strategic mindset shift that allows future business owners to observe industry dynamics, build relationships, and identify potential business opportunities while still employed.

By gradually repositioning themselves as independent thinkers and problem-solvers, individuals can create a strong foundation for their business before officially resigning. Anneve also highlights the balance between over-planning and impulsive action, advocating for a well-thought-out, intentional transition that maximizes success while maintaining professional integrity.
