EP46: How to Transition your Career from Employee to Business Owner, with Steve Preston
Have you reached a career crossroads? Are you struggling to navigate your own way through the career transition maze?
My guest on the show today is Steve Preston AKA ‘The Career Catalyst’. Steve is a leading Career Coach, internationally acclaimed Author, Speaker, Business Owner and Thought Leader on the world of work, including career transition and Portfolio Careers.
It’s nearly 17 years ago that, presented with the opportunity to relocate with his company, Steve made a defining career and life choice not to let an employer control his future any longer. This became the start of a journey into the unknown, a huge learning experience which saw Steve find new passions in career and personal development, helping him achieve his own successful career transition.
During our conversation you’re going to hear about the 6 step Career Navigation Cycle process which has been the catalyst to achieving many breakthrough career and life transitions for his own clients over the last 10 years.
Steve thrives on sharing his knowledge and experience to challenge your thinking about the world of work, and what work you would love to do each day if money were no object.
In this interview, Steve and I discuss the struggles, the fear and the process of how to get your career moving from where you are now as an employee, to what it takes to become a business owner. You’re also going to hear some wonderful perceptions into career success and the entrepreneurial mindset.
