The Weight She Carried

After 15 years of climbing the corporate ladder, Jessica was ready to launch her consulting firm. But the transition from a steady paycheck to entrepreneurial uncertainty kept her up at night, questioning if she was making the right choice.

  • Leaving $165K annual salary with no guaranteed income replacement
  • Worried about maintaining her lifestyle during the business startup phase
  • Uncertain about business structure and tax implications
  • Concerned about falling behind on retirement savings during the transition

She knew she wanted to start her own business, but she was terrified of making a mistake that would set her back financially for years.
