TWR 329: Leigh Burgess: Bold Moves, Midlife Transitions and Building a 7-Figure Business from Scratch

Are you too old to make a bold move? If you've ever thought you were too old to start over, let Leigh Burgess's story inspire you. She joins me in this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast to share that at 48, she left her demanding corporate healthcare job to start her own business - a decision that led to a seven-figure company in just one year.  We discuss just how she built a successful business without thousands of social media followers. We also dive into practical advice on how to start taking bold steps, why quiet moves can be just as powerful as loud ones, and Leigh’s new book "Be BOLD Today: Unleash Your Potential, Master Your Mindset, and Achieve Success." It hit shelves on November 19th so go ahead and grab it. It will offer a framework for creating your own bold year. Leigh Burgess co-founded a thriving business with her daughter and is the author of the book Be BOLD Today: Unleash Your Potential, Master Your Mindset, and Achieve Success. After over two decades of success in the corporate world, she found herself completely burned out, faced with an impossible choice between her health and her job. Leigh made what she calls a “big swing of bold.” In 2020, without a plan but with an unwavering belief in herself, she resigned and co-founded Bold Industries Group, a bootstrapped start-up that achieved seven figures in its first year and beyond. Now, Leigh is sharing her BOLD Framework (Believe-Own-Learn-Design), a powerful tool that fueled her recovery and continues to drive her success.   Thank you to our sponsors: Black Friday VIP Waitlist: https://products.ambershaw.com/blackfridayvip Find more from Leigh Burgess: Website: https://leighburgess.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theleighaburgess/   Find more from Amber: Instagram: @msambershaw TikTok: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com    What We Discuss: 03:05 The Foundations of Bold Decision-Making 06:02 Belief vs. Confidence: Understanding the Difference 09:04 Misconceptions About Being Bold 12:01 The Journey to Entrepreneurship 15:01 Overcoming Age-Related Fears 18:01 The Importance of Self-Care 20:59 Innovative Approaches to Business 23:48 Quiet Boldness: The Power of Small Changes 27:06 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome 32:40 Designing a Bold Year 39:09 Taking the First Step as an Entrepreneur 49:20 Choosing Yourself for Happiness
