Leaving a corporate job to start a small business can feel scary, but it can also be the best decision you ever make. I walked away from long meetings, tight deadlines and a routine that left me drained. Starting my own business gave me freedom, purpose and a chance to build something real. It was not always easy, but the rewards are worth it. I get to choose how I work, who I work with and what goals to chase. If you have a dream or a skill you believe in, now is the time to take that step. Life is too short to settle. Starting a small business gave me my life back and it might just do the same for you.
