Lindsey Carter On The Challenges Of Building Your Own Business After Pivoting From Corporate America

Lindsey Carter is a prime example of finding happiness when you follow your passion, but it wasn't an easy journey getting to that point. As do many people working in roles that don't make them feel fulfilled, Carter struggled going to work everyday. "Keep in mind I could not keep a job for more than eight months. I wasn't getting fired, I would just quit every time. I didn't like people telling me what to do. I was like 'this is not working for me,'" she says. So what did she do, she quit her path, pivoting from corporate America. "For me, what made me take the leap was that I was so miserable at my job."

She learned that it's easier said than done though. First she needed to find help as this would put her in a position of knowing nothing on how to start a business. Then she needed a great idea to build a business, which then led to growing the business itself. Through each step she learned the challenges of how to get to the next point, and she shares that insight below. Take a listen on how Carter ultimately found success, and above all happiness.
