Leaving a corporate job to build your own business may seems like a daunting move to make. After all, you are basically putting away the secured paychecks that you will receive every month and step into a world with uncertain levels of income. But a successful transition can be very rewarding, not just financially, but also in terms of a happier life as you now work on your own terms and schedule, without all the constraints that you face previously working in a corporate world. Fortunately, the change does not have to be sudden or immediate, you can choose to start it as a side hustle and grow it to a considerable size long before you hand in that resignation letter.
Today’s guest is someone who has successfully made that change. Her name is Emily Ho, and she is now running her own social media consulting business – Authentically Social, as a Social Media Strategist. She also a full-time blogger, running her own personal blog – Authentically Emmie. She previously worked in Product and Brand management, an area which is relevant to her current business now. In order to ensure a smooth transition, Emily actually works on her business as a side hustle for one full year before she finally decided to make that her full-time work.
Below are the key points that are shared by Emily during the interview:

* Her journey from working a full-time corporate job to running her own social media management business
* How she manages her transition and her way of minimizing the level of uncertainty
* A detailed explanation of what exactly does she do as a Social Media Strategist and how she helps her client to achieve their social media goals
* Emily also shares the self-doubt and sense of anxiety that she felt during her transition period, worrying that she might not make it without the security of a monthly paycheck
* How she is happy with the financial stability and time flexibility of her current work, which has greatly reduced her stress level
