Embracing the Journey: Enthusiastically UnemployableIn this special episode, I replay a live stream from two years ago where I shared the evolution of my brand from 'Enthusiastically Unemployable' to 'Enthusiastically Self-employed.' I discussed the misconceptions around the term 'Unemployable' and shared my personal journey from corporate marketing to becoming a thriving self-employed professional. I recounted the challenges, key moments, and supportive individuals who believed in me, even before I did. This episode describes what it means to be Enthusiastically Unemployable, offering insights and encouragement for anyone contemplating a transition from corporate life to self-employment. I also provided tips on maintaining visibility, managing finances using the 'Profit First' method, and leveraging LinkedIn for networking and business growth. 00:00 Introduction and Background00:56 Welcome to Enthusiastically Unemployable02:39 The Journey from Corporate to Self-Employment06:26 Navigating Career Transitions09:06 Building a New Path15:06 Embracing Self-Employment18:34 Realizing the Potential of Self-Employment21:12 The Turning Point26:28 The Final Decision28:14 Finding the Book 'Profit First'28:28 Understanding the Profit First System30:12 Transitioning to Self-Employment31:58 Embracing the Enthusiastically Unemployable Lifestyle32:55 Building Meller Marketing36:44 Navigating the Challenges of 202042:15 Launching the Enthusiastically Unemployable Series44:49 Audience Interaction and Final ThoughtsOpen House for The Recipe for Social Selling on LinkedInA FREE, live, virtual tour hosted by Brenda Meller Get a "Behind the Scenes" look at The RecipeThurs, December 18, 2025 | 1-2 pm EThttps://www.mellermarketing.com/recipeopenhouse ******************************15 LinkedIn Profile Tips for Coaches and ConsultantsFREE Download at mellermarketing.com/list This checklist provides 15 quick and easy ways to update your LinkedIn profile TODAY and help generate more leads for your coaching / consulting business.**************************************My name is Brenda Meller.
