Business
How many of you are currently stuck in your career or business? You’re at a crossroad and you don’t know if you should go left or right. Maybe you’ve been waiting for that promotion but got passed up on it ONCE AGAIN. Or maybe you launched a business but it’s not quite growing the way you planned on. Whatever your story is, you need to decide on your next move. And that is so daunting and stressful!That’s why I asked entrepreneur and follow podcaster Krittika Khandelwal, founder of Soothi to share her unique story of pivoting from a corporate career to staring a business. And she pivoted TWICE when she switched directions with her business. Recognizing when to move on is one thing, but actually figuring out how to is so challenging. I was so impressed by Krittika’s story of resilience and determination to build the kind of brand she’s been dreaming of her entire professional career. This episode is especially inspirational for me because I AM KRITTIKA before she made the leap of faith of entrepreneurship. On the episode she shares her gripes with corporate America and how it wasn’t fulfilling her inner-entrepreneur. That is the EXACT stage in my career I’m personally in so to hear her come out on top on the other is SO MOTIVATING to me! And because us brown girl podcasters need to stick together, please check our her show The Modern Indian Podcast. I hope you find the inspiration you need to pivot past your roadblocks and build a career or business that fulfills you. Tune in at iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher or Spotify now.
