The recipe went something like this: Go to school. Get a degree. Maybe a second degree, or masters or Ph.D. Get a stable job with benefits, and a retirement plan. Stay there until age 65, then retire.  BAM! Success would be inevitable. It was great advice a few decades ago. The reality of today is that so many people are stuck in jobs that aren\u2019t supportive of the life they want to be living. Maybe that\u2019s you: you\u2019re doing work you don\u2019t enjoy. Maybe you have a creative pursuit or passion and don\u2019t know how to go for it. Maybe you know there\u2019s untapped potential within you and you know your job isn\u2019t the way it\u2019s going to come out. You know that freelancing can serve as a way out but you don\u2019t know how to actually make the transition. Maybe you\u2019re afraid. Afraid of not knowing how and afraid of failure You might be worried that your career growth may be stunted. And of course, you\u2019re driven - ambitious - passionate about doing cool work in this world. I know taking the leap into freelancing can be scary and overwhelming, That\u2019s why I\u2019m honoured to be joined by Joy Batra, author of the brand-new book \u201cThe Freelance Mindset: Unleashing Your Side Hustles for Better Work, Play, and Life\u201d.  Episode show notes: www.lisamichaud.com\/podcast\/81   ","author_name":"Goalden Girls Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.lisamichaud.com","html":"
