Ep 2 - Taking the big leap ft. Finally Fiona

This episode is all about taking the leap of faith into being your own boss. My guest Fiona Kolade (AKA Finally Fiona) is a great example of someone who took the big leap from her corporate job and is now doing what she loves as a freelance content creator and lifestyle blogger.  There is no doubt that we are currently in challenging times and there is a lot of uncertainty with the COVID-19 crisis affecting the global economy. Several experts are predicting that this could be the worst recession the world has seen in a long time. However, it is interesting that many of the multi-billion dollar businesses we talk about today started during a recession. In fact companies like Whatsapp, Instagram, Uber and Slack were founded just after the 2008 financial crisis.  With that said, it appears that many of us might have to become more entrepreneurial to survive. This could be a great time to do something about that business idea you have been sitting on. In this episode, Fiona shares a lot of inspiration and valuable tips that would support anyone that is interested in going into business.
