Have you ever done your job so well that the promotion you were promised disappeared?
That’s what happened to my guest, Shantay Brothers, a former operations leader who loved her company and hit a career plateau anyway. She’d sworn she’d never run a business again, but her past businesses taught her exactly what to look for in low risk business ideas.
If you’ve been passed over for promotion or you’re feeling underappreciated at work, you’ll see yourself in her story. And if corporate burnout has you wondering what else you could build, this episode is for you.
Our conversation touches on:
- Why being underappreciated at work can point to a skill you take for granted
- What her two past businesses taught her before starting a consulting business
- What starting a business while working full time did for her confidence
- How she decided how much notice to give when quitting a company she still cared about
- What having no work life balance cost her at home
- How faith guides her as a Christian business owner, and where it led her next
- What she wishes she’d known sooner about her worth and her work
You’ve probably typed quitting corporate job into a search bar more than once and talked yourself out of it every time. Shantay’s story covers what staying was costing her son, her marriage, and her peace of mind.
Here’s to getting your afternoons back.
