Taking the leap from corporate America to business ownership is an incredible journey that changed my life. Successfully making that transition isn’t as simple as changing where we work, it’s about actually changing who we are, and transforming from the traditional corporate persona to a mindset of business ownership.
We have to shed some of the habits we picked up in the corporate world, so we can create thriving working environments and nurture good working relationships. This can be a challenging shift to make but in my own experience and through my clients, I know it’s possible with the right support.
That’s why I created this podcast. I wanted to create a space of inspiration and encouragement with stories from real business owners who have found freedom through franchising.
In our first episode, I’m joined by Tamara Burkett, an entrepreneur and consultant I’ve had the joy of partnering with in my own business. We discuss our own unique journeys to business ownership, and why there’s so much power in sharing our stories.

My passion is supporting people, helping them find clarity, and encouraging them to try new things.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
- The value of our life experiences in business
Social media and podcasting give us the opportunity to share lessons from our unique journeys and life experiences. People are searching for a story to inspire them to chase their own dreams. Our unique stories and experiences make our marketing more compelling, engaging and honest. - How a corporate mindset can hurt our business
If we take a corporate mentality into our business endeavors, we risk creating a toxic work environment. We’ll ultimately replicate the same mindset and culture that made us leave corporate in the first place. - Why business is the ultimate empowerment vehicle
Starting our own franchise business gives us 100% ownership of each day of our lives, which is both empowering and rewarding. It gives us the freedom to create a business that feels authentic to us and a life around the things that are most important to us.
