Transforming Adversity into Opportunity

About this episode

Escaping corporate and running your own business is a HUGE jump that can seem too daunting for many.

In this week’s episode of Escape the Rat Race, Lisa continues to speak with business owners who have escaped corporate and now have their own successful businesses.

This week Lisa speaks with Susan Wright from The Wright VA.

What if this illness means you can no longer carry out your job?

This happened to Susan Wright when her chronic fatigue syndrome meant she could no longer carry out her full-time job as a PA in the NHS.

Rather than feel defeated Susan used her existing skills to find work that fitted around when she felt able to do it. She investigated the world of virtual assistants and found she was perfectly suited.

Susan now runs The Wright VA and manages her work around her long-term illness.

She is a fantastic example of crafting a business around her life and you can hear all about her journey in this week's episode of ESCAPE THE RAT RACE.
