Chris Williams worked in corporate for nearly two decades before he decided to take life into his own hands and develop a successful side business that allowed him to quit his job and focus on what he loved. He successfully built his side hustle business and earned $200,000 after just year one.
Now Chris is passionate about helping other corporate professionals make the same leap of faith and enjoy the freedom of having their own business.
He started the Grow Your Business podcast, which helps him put his message out to the world and share his knowledge with other aspiring entrepreneurs. He has produced more than 200 episodes and his following has since grown to over 13,000 subscribers.
He is also a senior agile coach and speaker and has been on Forbes’ coaches council. He hosts webinars to help his audience transform their skills into a side business that can pay off. However, he has experienced his fair share of challenges as well. He was laid off twice, which resulted in some trauma that made it difficult to identify his value.
After several unsuccessful attempts to start his own business, Chris realized that he was making certain mistakes that were holding him back. He researched and discovered what he was doing wrong. Afterward, he was able to start his own business and grow it even without immediately leaving his full-time job.
