45. The Entrepreneurial Journey of a Pharma Quitter with Jennifer Jones

Have you ever dreamed about what it would be like to be your own boss? To become an entrepreneur with the freedom to choose how and when you’re going to work? Perhaps at the end of a bad day or bad week, you’ve wanted to say, like the old country song, “Take this job and shove…I ain’t working here no more.”

But then you think about all of those great benefits from your corporate job–the health, dental, and vision insurance, the 401K match, and guaranteed paycheck every 2-weeks that comes in rain-or-shine…and you say to yourself, I’m going to suck it up and keep plodding along.

My guest today actually broke free of the corporate handcuffs and transitioned away from a great job into what she would describe as a great, entrepreneurial business that gives her the freedom to live the life she wants to live. And she tells everyone who will listen that life is better without the corporate handcuffs.

While her message is compelling, it’s probably not for everyone. But what I believe my listeners deserve is the opportunity to make fully informed decisions–and you have the right to know what’s possible–what’s out there if you want to bet on yourself and go for it.
