19: Starting A Business In Midlife With Deb Pasley
Show Notes

I'm talking to Deb Pasley, co-founder of the Midlife Hub, which brings together trusted services, therapists, events and experiences all aimed at making midlife a positive and empowering time of our lives. Like me, Deb left behind a very successful corporate career to do something more meaningful and make a bigger impact in the world. We talk about the benefits of having a corporate background (even though the desire is often to "leave it all behind" because you're so glad to be free of it!) Deb shares her story of how she and Rosi (her business partner) developed their passion into a business idea and a successful enterprise to help people struggling with all that midlife brings from menopause and a renewed focus on wellbeing to career change or deciding that you want to do something entirely different with your life! The associations with midlife are often negative - The Midlife Hub is all about changing that common perception. We discuss the challenges and lessons along the way of building a robust business case strategy and plan, testing your ideas with your client market, overcoming perfectionism and how much there really is to learn when you move from a corporate career to running your own business! So many pearls of wisdom and lessons to share in this episode and if you're a woman in midlife thinking about starting a business - do it, do it, do it!
