She Quit Her Full-Time Job with Her Second Copywriting Invoice - Jenny's Story (Episode 228)

Raise your hand if your background has nothing to do with copywriting. 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

That’s where 99.9% of us start, too! Jenny is no different: She spent 10 years as a tennis coach in the United Kingdom, where she’s from, and New Zealand, where she has lived for more than 15 years.

After another decade working for Tennis New Zealand, Jenny wondered if it was even possible to transition to another career.

Spoiler: Jenny effectively changed careers. On today’s episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, she’s sharing her tips for what to consider if you want to change careers.

But beyond that, Jenny is sharing how she used her previous career experience to launch her copywriting career—and quit her full-time job after sending her second invoice.

If you’ve ever had the thought, “Am I stuck here forever?” you need to listen to Jenny’s story.

Whether you’re looking to transition to copywriting or still exploring your options, Jenny offers inspiration to realize you are never stuck.
