Thinking About Leaving Your Job? Here’s How Seven Entrepreneurs Decided to Take the Leap

Dr. Brianna Gaynor, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist, Transformational Speaker, and Director of Peace of Mind Psychological Services 

“One of my life’s most significant decisions was whether or not to start a business. I remember walking into my office one day and thinking, I want to do this by myself. I’d never wanted to be a business owner before, so this was a massive shift, and I was unsure if I felt ready for or capable of this feat. I mentioned the idea to my friend Natalie, and she just said, “Yeah, you can do that.” Those five words gave me the confidence to begin to dream. From there, I got some training with another successful business owner, participated in a consultation group, and took small steps to find space and a market. That ‘Yeah, you can do that’ was the push and blessing I needed to begin and sustain Peace of Mind Psychological Services. For that, I am forever grateful to my friend.”
