Starting a Business to Build a Life of Freedom | Chanel Venter - EP28

EP28 with Chanel Venter, Founder of Magnify

In 2019, Chanel was working in a corporate job in hospitality. By all accounts she was a high achiever and had received multiple promotions in her work. But she found that with each promotion, the high would quickly wear off and she would be left feeling pretty dissatisfied with her role. She wanted more freedom in her life and started to think of ways she could make that happen...

Fast forward 4 years and Chanel is the Founder and Managing Director of a very successful business providing mystery shopping in the hospitality industry. Chanel has doubled the revenues of the business each year business, and has grown her team to 5 people, providing services to some of the top hospitality brands in mutiple countries. But perhaps more importantly, Chanel has achieved her goal of creating a life of freedom for herself. She lives in Bali where she works remotely amd has complete control over how and where she spends her time.

Although this is a great story of someone creating a life they love, Chanel will be the first to say that it's been a total roller coaster. We talk about all the highs and lows of this journey and what she has learned about herself along the way,.

On this episode you will also hear about;

• Why Chanel finally decided to leave her job and start her own business
• The exact steps she took to transition from her full time job into doing her own thing
• What life is actually like for Chanel, running her own business and living in Bali
• Some of the downsides of being a solo founder and what Chanel has done to combat those
• Advice for someone who is trying to figure out what to do in their lives
• Chanel's thoughts on relationships and how to make sure you are doing the right thing for yourself in your relationships, while still pursuing your work goals.

Chanel is a wonderfully interesting person who is incredibly open about her own journey and I think that is what helped make this conversation so enjoyable.
