Soul-Aligned Contribution with Nancy Bleeke

The FI Planner

Would entrepreneurship be less scary if you knew you’d make more money than your current job?

In this episode, Nancy Bleeke explains how analyzing expenses motivated her to start her own business and what she’s learned since she made the transition to entrepreneurship over twenty years ago.

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

• Evaluating what it costs you to work vs. start your own business
• Making the transition to entrepreneurship without incurring debt
• Why community is crucial to growth and why it’s okay to be scared

Must-listen moments:

[00:09:20] After calculating what it cost me to work, including travel, childcare, clothes, etc. even though I had a good job, my net income back to the family was about $10,000 a year.

[00:16:08] Part of being profitable right away was watching my expenses. I think knowing what I wanted my net take home number to be helped ensure that my business had net profit. Otherwise, why was I doing it?

[00:32:00] When I'm afraid, I always do look for help, that is just how I am. I'm going to find a way to work through it. I get afraid if I notice that my pipeline isn't healthy. But then, right away I'm like, all right, so what do I need to do?

Who would ever want to be “in sales”? she thought. Yet, she found her calling helping people who also never saw themselves in sales, succeed in selling!
