Dottie was in a high-pressure executive role, working long hours and carrying constant stress. She was burned out and starting to wonder how long she could keep going at that pace.
That’s when she decided to look at her options. Not because she had to, but because she was ready to take back control of her time and energy.
"I started talking to Jim before I got laid off. It ended up being the best timing. He helped me think about options I never would have considered and made the whole thing way less frightening."
– Dottie, Franchise Owner
When the layoff came, she wasn’t scrambling. She already had clarity, a plan, and a path forward.
Through our conversations, she realized a major career change could actually feel manageable.
"I don’t have the level of toxic stress I had before. It’s a little scary starting your own business, but I feel confident now and a lot more comfortable with the process because of Jim’s guidance."
– Dottie, Franchise Owner
Now, she’s set up her business and finally stepping into a role that fits the life she actually wants.
If you’ve been wondering what’s next, now’s a good time to explore it. Whether change is already happening or not, it helps to have a plan.
Let’s talk if you’re ready to take that first step.
