In this week's episode of the "Goodbye Rich Show," I’m talking you through my journey of leaving behind the comfort and security of a 25-year career as an employee to embrace the unpredictable but incredibly rewarding world of full-time entrepreneurship. I've been shifting my mindset from thinking like an employee to fully stepping into the shoes of a director – even though I've technically had the title for over two years. It’s been a massive mental shift, and I’m not alone in this. More and more people are waking up to the fact that the traditional job for life isn’t cutting it anymore, especially when the loyalty and benefits that once defined employment are rapidly dwindling.

I’ll share what’s driven me to make this change and the lessons I've learned along the way, like why it's vital to diversify your income streams. I’m here to help those of you listening who are stuck in a job you no longer love or are simply tired of the rat race. I’ve been there, and I know how difficult it can be to make that leap. But trust me, it's worth it. I’ll also let you in on my plans for the future, including some exciting new projects – like a coaching programme that could help you replicate the success I’ve achieved, moving from a £200 investment to over £100,000 in under two years.

Plus, I'm thrilled to bring you part two of my chat with Mark and Henry, a father-son team who are turning their family business into a true e-commerce powerhouse. We talk about everything from setting up multiple income streams and diversifying their business, to the challenges of homeschooling for entrepreneurship. It's a fantastic conversation that touches on the importance of resilience, community, and the sheer determination it takes to make a dream work – whether you're selling on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or even knocking on the doors of estate agents.

So, if you're wondering whether self-employment is right for you, or if you’re looking for tips on scaling your existing venture, this episode is packed with insights to help you get started. Join me for a no-nonsense, down-to-earth chat on what it takes to break free from the status quo and build a life on your own terms.
