Leaving a Full-Time Career for a Blooming Business

I'm thrilled to interview in this episode, Kelly Carlson of Boone's Blooms. Kelly went from a full-time sales career of 22 years to opening a floral studio out of her garage.

In her first month as a full-time florist, she made 5 figures and her second month is on track for another 5 figures.

I know there are a lot of you who listen to this podcast that have one foot in the floral world and one foot still in your corporate life, and you're trying to figure out.. is this even worth it? Are the risks real? Should I listen to my fears?

In this episode, Kelly share's her advice for those of you who are really looking at what your options are, and if now is the time to make the leap.

2:00 How Kelly decided to go from a full-time corporate sales job to selling flowers
5:21 How Kelly used her corporate background experience to jumpstart her flower shop and what she wished she would have known when first starting
