Quitting Corporate

Jan 4 2024 • 19 mins

As a Finance major who became a military spouse, Molly Rose quickly realized that her 20s were not going to pan out the way she  expected. Having tried life as a ‘cubicle-dweller’ in Corporate Finance, she faced the truth that she hated it and leapt feet first into entrepreneurship instead.

Now, with over a decade behind her, Molly Rose talks to us about her journey; what she learnt along the way and how she is loving her latest venture - teaching people how to be General Administrative Virtual Assistants (VA).

We also dive into:

  • The value of jumping in and learning on the job

  • The realities of VA finances when getting started

  • Creating a career around your life and not the other way around

  • How she made the move from VA to VA trainer/teacher
