Creating a business in the field you’ve spent your career in as an employee is a unique experience, but when you’re aiming for a better fit lifestyle and to work on something that matters to you, it’s an experience worth taking.
My guest today knows all about it – she’s a small business owner, naturally, this is Unemployed & Afraid after all and we’re all about those SME stories, and her business exists to support small business owners.
Heidi Warren is Director of Law by Design and in this chat you’ll hear about:  

Realising a glittering law career was less sparkly than you’d hoped
Dropping your profession for something very different, only to pick it back up again as a business down the track
Hitting go on a business as baby #3 “sleeps”
The mental segmentation challenge that is running your own business
Making the business you’d like to see exist, even if it goes against the grain of your profession
Responding to the market need, after you’ve gotten started
Stepping out from behind your brand in a way that suits you
And some priceless info on legals for small business, whether that’s as a sole trader or business, selling a product or a service, or a course – we’re talking privacy policies, protection, insurances and Trademarking – and so you’re gonna want to stick around for that

We’re always here for you listener to inject some real feels and inspiring connection on the journey that is building a business to make sure you have what you need to keep going – this episode delivers just that.
