Juggling a 9 to 5 While Pursuing Entrepreneurship with Cara Barone

Being an entrepreneur is a tough road to walk. But pursuing entrepreneurship while juggling a 9 to 5 job is even tougher. Cara Barone is a business coach and mentor who helps type-A women grow and scale their online businesses. What’s more, Cara is also a consultant at LinkedIn.

She joins the show today to discuss the balancing act of switching between your 9 to 5 hat, and your entrepreneurial hat. In this episode, Cara shares her journey with LinkedIn and her coaching business. She also explains why she loves working at LinkedIn even though she’s coaching full-time. And as a recovery type-A entrepreneur myself, we discuss why type-A women have so much potential but they can also burn out the fastest.

Whether you’re caught between your 9 to 5 and full-time entrepreneurship, or maybe you’re a classic type-A goal-getter, Cara unpacks some of the most important issues that could help change the way you show up in life.

“We're creating a business so we don't have to work 5 million hours. Yet we end up working more than our corporate jobs. But you know, we do this to create flexibility and freedom. And then, of course, to make an impact.” - Kirsten Roldan
