You read Two Week’s Notice and Don’t Keep Your Day Job…you ditched the briefcase and now you're ready to nurture (and legally secure) your online business. You need this practical guide for sustainable entrepreneurship.

Sam Vander Wielen started her career as a lawyer. It made her miserable. So, she pivoted from barrister to food blogger to health coach…but that didn’t work either. Drawn to entrepreneurship and the freedom it allowed her, Vander Wielen was determined to create a sustainable online business. Pivoting once more, this time to an idea that would eventually lead to multi 7-figure revenue, Vander Wielen built a successful online business. Now, she wants to help you do the same.
     When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy is a necessary resource for those who are seeking to start their own online business or take an existing one to the next level. Having walked the entrepreneurial path herself, Vander Wielen presents practical, easy-to-implement business ideas and advice that covers all the stages of entrepreneurship, such as how to:
  • properly plan to leave your job, or to prepare to start your own business
  • navigate the four stages you’ll experience while building your business, and what to focus on in each
  • build an email list full of ready-to-buy customers
  • research, build out, and beta test your first $1 million product
  • cultivate a healthy sense of self outside of what you do for a living
With warmth and honesty, Vander Wielen counters the conventional wisdom by reminding you that while deeply rewarding, the road to entrepreneurship won’t always be easy. Your business won’t fix your life, but it will help you become a more confident, empowered person, and give you the opportunity to seek happiness in your life.
