đź’Ą 38: How to Job Search Now if You Want to be an Entrepreneur Later
+ specific roles to look for
Multi-hyphenates like us know something that most of our peers forget: you don’t wait for your future to arrive- you create your future now.
So if you know in your bones that you’re growing beyond your 9-5 and will eventually start your own thing– whether it’s a full time venture or a part-time hustle– you don’t have to wait until that day comes to start getting an edge!
Entrepreneurship comes with a steep learning curve for those of us who have been masters of the corporate system.
Many of us corporate rockstars– myself included– become subject matter experts in our roles, going deep into the skills and leadership capabilities that will help us climb to the next rung on our team’s ladder.
Entrepreneurship, though? That’s a Generalist’s game.
As long as you’re running solo, you’re the Chief Everything Officer: creating the thing, marketing it, selling it, building a movement around it, and keeping the backend lights on.
Even if/when you decide to hire team members, the buck still stops with you.
The great news is, almost every skill you need to be an confident entrepreneur can be learned in your 9-5 if you know what to prioritize!
Think of your next corporate role like your Internship in Entrepreneurship, and squeeze out all of the business-prep juice until you’re ready to launch.
OK specifically, your success with common side hustles like content creation, consulting, coaching, and e-commerce depends on your savviness in a few key areas.
