Episode 151
Some weeks your job feels completely fine, and other weeks you’re ready to hand in your notice by Tuesday. Or maybe your job is perfectly fine, but there’s a business idea you can’t stop thinking about. In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I answer two questions submitted by working professionals who are both sitting in a lot of uncertainty about their work.
Question 1: What do you do when you love your job one week and want to quit the next?
Question 2: How do you know if it’s the right time to leave a good job and go all in on a business idea?
As with all my Q&A episodes, the value lies in hearing answers to other people’s questions that you didn’t even know you had.
