[00:00:38] Speaker: Are you ready to quit your nine to five job and start a business of your own? Well, you're in the right place, my friend. Welcome to the second act success career podcast. I am your host, Shannon Russell. I am a former television producer turned business owner, career transition coach, and boy mom. My mission is to help you produce your best [00:01:00] life.

This podcast will teach you how to get from where you are now to where you want to be and how to build a business that fits your life and lights you up. Let's get started. 

Hi there. And welcome back to the second act success career podcast. I am your host, Shannon Russell. It has been an overwhelming whirlwind of a week over here, wrapping up summer, getting the kids back to school and getting ready for fall. I'm sure you can relate. I'm sure everyone has just been in the thick of it. 

It's like you enjoy summer for all of these months. And then all of a sudden it's back to reality. And where I live, our kids actually go back after labor day. So we have the first day of school tomorrow. So we are getting things together, getting things ready. And this past week has been extremely overwhelming because on top of all of this mom, fall back to school stuff. I am getting ready to launch a brand new limited series [00:02:00] podcast. Next week on September 9th. I am so, so excited. This is what I've been working on for a really long time. And I'm so glad that it's finally coming together. My friend, this podcast is called how to quit your job and start a business. Amazing, right? 

This limited series podcast is an answer to your requests. 

I have been getting requests from a lot of listeners. Yes, Shannon, this is great. I want to start a second act, but how do I do it? How do I really take those action steps to get me from where I am now to where I want to be? And because a lot of you are thinking about entrepreneurship as your second act. I just wanted to make this series and really put everything I have into it for you. So you can get on the list to be notified.

So you can listen to the series, you can work through this workbook and it really brings all of the lessons together. 

So you might be thinking, what is a limited series podcast? How does it differ from second act success? It is a different podcast altogether. So second X access career podcast is a weekly podcast.

It is different. A limited series podcast is just that it is a limited release. So on September 9th, when the podcast launches officially, [00:04:00] you will have 20 episodes. That is all that will ever be in how to quit your job and start a business. The podcast, it is only going to include 20 episodes and that's it. And all 20 episodes will be released at the same time. 

So it's really great for those of you who are serious about this transition in your life. And fall's a great time to do it, right. You're getting back into routines. So I especially wanted to get this out to you in September. for those of you who really are ready to start taking action, you can listen and binge really all 20 episodes.

I want to share a little sneak peek of some of the topics that I cover throughout this series. We are going to tackle, what is the why behind you wanting to start a business? We're also going to tackle self-assessments and how you can really study your transferable skills. I have an episode for you on planning your exit strategy. 

What are those steps to take to actually give your notice? We're also going to tackle the mindset of an entrepreneur and how it's different from that mindset of an employee. We're also going to dive into what type of business you want to start. You might have a ton of ideas in this podcast will help you [00:06:00] narrow those ideas down. We'll also tackle market research, your customer avatar, your unique value proposition. We will go over how you can get your finances together and in order to make this leap. 

I dedicated an entire episode on how to write a business plan. That is usually a piece of the puzzle that a lot of my clients get nervous about. 

And I'm going to walk you through exactly what needs to be in there and how you can write a successful business plan for you. We're also going to touch on branding of your business and how to create lead magnets and how to move forward with confidence. So within these 20 episodes, there's going to be something that you can utilize immediately to take action.
