Julie Berninger, who lives with her husband and daughter in Massachusetts, quit her job in July 2021 to focus on the business full-time. Here's her career advice for other entrepreneurs.
"Whatever career field someone's in, you are getting something out of being at your day job," she says. Think of what those skills could be, and always think ahead about what else you can learn there that could apply.Some companies also offer their employees various internal trainings and stipends for education outside of work. Take advantage, says Berninger.
Her companies would sometimes bring in guest speakers, for example."I always went to every single one," she says."Particularly at the end, when I worked at the tech companies, they had the founder of Reddit come speak to us. They would have people that wrote books about entrepreneurship." All of these offered opportunities to learn how to be a better entrepreneur herself."It's just getting inspired and getting outside ideas and learning as many skills as you can," she says."This is something I'm still working on," says Berninger of her final piece of advice."But build those breaks along the way."
Even if you're pursuing your entrepreneurial dreams while working full time, and you only have small windows to get done what you need to get done, giving yourself momentary breaks will help you focus. found that among various groups of people that performed a 50-minute task, those who took two brief breaks stayed focused during the whole experiment.
