If you’re looking for inspiration to take that leap into a new way of life, look no further than this weeks episode of ‘Get Invested’. Look in the dictionary under high achiever and you’ll see a picture of my guest, Katie Richards. But it hasn’t always been a straight and smooth road for this country girl turned big-city lawyer turned Internet entrepreneur – and her story has some fantastic lessons for all of us.
In this broad-ranging and thought-provoking episode, we delve into the money lessons Katie learnt at a young age, the twists and turns of her career, overcoming a serious accident and corporate burnout, and how on earth she juggles running her own business – Virtual Legal – and building her new web venture, all while studying for her UK law exams and staying sane.
Here are just some of the subjects we touch on:
- Why Katie considers personal development her best investment
- Beating corporate disillusionment
- Turning your skills into a freedom business
- Disrupting the legal business online
- Building systems to get your time back
- The value of mindfulness
