Episode notes
What if the thing you've been waiting to feel ready for is the exact thing you need to start right now? In this deeply personal episode, sales leadership coach Amy Evans pulls back the curtain on her own entrepreneurial journey — the real, unfiltered version that nobody posts about on LinkedIn. From a layoff at Salesforce on the first day of the fiscal year, to navigating a divorce after 17 years of marriage, to building what is now a top 10 global podcast and thriving coaching practice, Amy shares exactly what it took to make the leap she'd been dreaming about for 25 years. This episode is for you if you're standing at the edge of your biggest leap — whether that's going after the executive role, making a career pivot, launching something of your own, or finally betting on yourself in a way that scares you. Amy talks candidly about the "messy middle," the identity shifts that every major career move requires, and why the wait-until-I'm-ready strategy will cost you more than you think.
