This Week at Breakfast Lab
Leaving your 9–5 doesn’t have to mean choosing between financial stability and building your dream. This week, Erin Blohm shares how she transitioned from a full-time corporate career to building Blooma full-time, leaning on consulting work to pay the bills along the way rather than waiting for a “perfect” moment that never comes. You’ll leave with a practical framework for creating your own financial runway, so you can start building with confidence instead of waiting for the leap to feel risk-free.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
- How to know it’s actually time to leave your corporate career
- Using consulting to fund your startup while you build it
- Creating financial stability without slowing down your vision
- Balancing client work with founder work
- Common mistakes to avoid during the transition
- A framework for designing your own path from employee to full-time founder
About the Presenter
Erin Blohm is the founder of Blooma. She made the leap from a full-time corporate career to building her business full-time by using her professional skills as a consultant to fund the transition and now helps other founders think through how to do the same without betting everything on day one.
