How to Leave Corporate Without Starting From Scratch

How to leave corporate without starting over. This is an author breakdown of my book Choice Destinations—the strategic exit plan for transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship.

I was laid off at 43 at the peak of my corporate career. Instead of scrambling for another job, I pivoted back to entrepreneurship where I'd already built six-figure success.

That transition taught me what works. And I put it all in this book.
