Happy Career Formula with Jette Stubbs

Have you ever thought about how to quit your job and start from scratch doing what you love, even if you have no idea what that is? The skeptic and fear in you creeps up... is it something the every day person is capable of? How would it work?
In today's show, we're talking with Brittany Chung Campbell, who quit her job with no plan and replaced most of her income in 60 days, during the height of the pandemic in March 2020. In less than a year and during a pandemic, she went from working in a daycare to having a clientele roster, a faculty position teaching her passion and landed multiple contracts with her favorite company in the industry. She is a Creative Entrepreneur doing what she loves.

• What if you want to quit your job to do what you love, even if you no idea what exactly that is yet? How do you replace most of your income in 60 days?
  
• What if you want to follow your passion, but the thing that excites you the most is something creative (writing, music, arts)? How do you avoid being a starving artist?
  
• What if you tried to start a career or business doing what you love three or more times and it hasn't worked? How do you avoid another failure? What do you differently?
  
• Who wants to hear "a brown girl's story"? I'm not a expert. How do you silence your inner critic and overcome imposter syndrome? How do you silence the external critics who say you can't do it?

These are the real questions Brittany was asking herself in the beginning. Listen in to learn how she got to where she is today.
Today, Brittany is a Book Coach, who helps diverse and true stories to be heard. She helps diverse authors go from just an idea to completed manuscript and consistent sales. She focuses on underrepresented stories: Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender, Race, Differently-abled, Culturally diverse, and Conscious Writers. But when Brittany started someone she admired told her "no one wants to hear a brown girl's story."
Listen in to see how you can apply some of the lessons to how you build your career or business.
