Have lunch with Joshua McNary, newly birthed entrepreneur, Marketing Technologist, and founder of McNary Marketing & Design LLC. He will be sharing the methodical and purposeful way he approached the transition from a comfortable corporate position to being his own boss.

During Joshua’s year long journey to entrepreneurship, he went through a number of phases which will help you consider your next step. It started with an internal epiphany — there is no such thing as a secure job. Despite excelling with his former employer, he began a process of discovery in asking for guidance, help, and suggestions from trusted mentors, family, and friends to come to the point of finally deciding it was the right time to make his dream a reality. It was then time to act -setting a new venture up for success.

Along the way Joshua also learned valuable lessons regarding communicating with his spouse, considering his family and friends' reaction to his “radical” change, determining the best way exit his employment, having an abundance mentality, faith, and more.

Join us on March 26th to share in one dreamer’s story to his next chapter, help lower your internal barriers to taking the leap, and take one step closer your chasm of opportunity.
