Most people don't wake up one day and decide to become an independent consultant.  It's the kind of decision that starts with a career change, a push from circumstance, or a feeling that there's something better on the other side of corporate life.  In this episode, I’m giving you a glimpse of my journey — from an unexpected exit to building a consulting business. I'm also answering questions she that I hear most often from professionals considering the leap.  If you're wondering whether you're ready, or how to prepare before you make the move, this conversation is a great place to start.
