My BFF (best friend forever) Julie is visiting me this weekend from San Francisco.
We went to grad school together and were roomies many moons ago.
This weekend we are hanging out (i.e. going to restaurants, movies, the gym, etc) and also doing lots of good ol’ brainstorming (we’re working on a biz plan for her … she just left her corporate job as an organizational development manager for a U.S. health care company and wants to create an internet based lifestyle next).
Given my close proximity to Julie … and several clients who are in the same boat, I’ve opted to write this issue’s article on the shift from working inside an organization to ‘going out on your own’ – becoming an independent solo practitioner and/or small business owner … and how to plot your plan to do so.
