Congratulations on taking the bold step to transition from journalism to entrepreneurship! Your experience in journalism likely provided you with valuable skills such as storytelling, communication, and critical thinking, which are highly transferable to running a successful agency. Building a profitable side business while leaving a stable job demonstrates strategic risk-taking and resilience—qualities essential for sustainable success. Offering to help others start their ventures not only reflects your generosity but also positions you as a valuable mentor in this space. I’d be interested to know what specific niches or services your agency specializes in, and how you see the role of side projects evolving in the entrepreneurial landscape. Your journey exemplifies how leveraging existing skills and taking calculated risks can lead to fulfilling new career paths.
