Feeling the Call for Change? Here’s How to Know If Entrepreneurship Is Your Next

Posted on April 11, 2025 by Nives Radan, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.

Many women who’ve built successful careers eventually reach a point where something starts to shift. You may feel that your current job no longer fulfills you in the same way. You crave more freedom, authentic self-expression, and work that aligns deeply with who you are. But how do you know if entrepreneurship is truly your next step?

What No One Tells You About the Entrepreneurial Journey
Transitioning from the corporate world to running your own business isn’t just a career change—it’s a shift in lifestyle and mindset. Above all, it’s a mindset shift.

Behind the polished Instagram images of freedom and fulfillment is a reality that includes deep personal reflection, facing fears, and the courage to trust your inner voice—even when others don’t understand your path. Personally, I see entrepreneurship as personal growth work, amplified.

For multi-passionate women, entrepreneurship often offers the chance to integrate all their talents and passions into something meaningful. Instead of squeezing themselves into someone else’s mold, they get to create offerings that reflect their unique gifts and skills.

Signs You’re Ready for Entrepreneurship
You feel unfulfilled in your current role – No matter your success, it no longer feels meaningful. There’s a growing disconnect between you and your job, a sense that something deeper is calling you.

You have a strong inner vision – You feel you have something valuable to offer, even if the details aren’t all clear yet. There’s a knowing inside you that wants to be expressed.

You’re tired of playing by someone else’s rules – You’re done adapting to other people’s visions. You want the freedom to build a business aligned with your values and dreams.

Fear doesn’t stop you – You may feel scared, but the excitement of the possibility ahead outweighs your fear. Deep down, you know you’d regret not trying.

You already think like an entrepreneur – You’re imagining offers, designing your brand, and envisioning your ideal workday. You see problems you could solve and the kind of clients you’d love to help.

You’re seeking purpose and meaning – It’s no longer just about a paycheck. You want your work to make a real impact and leave you energized, not drained.

People are already coming to you for help – You’re informally supporting others in areas where you’re considering building a business. That’s a strong sign you have marketable value.

The Biggest Myths About Starting a Business
“I need to have it all figured out before I begin.”
Not true. Entrepreneurship is a journey—clarity comes through action. You can start with what you know and allow the path to unfold step by step.

“I need a big investment to start.”
These days, many businesses start with minimal resources. Many successful entrepreneurs began with just the basics and grew from there.

“If I’m uncertain, it must not be right for me.”
Every entrepreneur has moments of doubt. The key is learning to manage that feeling and distinguish intuitive hesitation from fear rooted in old beliefs.

“I have to focus on one thing only.”
This is especially hard for multi-passionate women. The truth? You can create a business that honors your diverse gifts—with the right strategy.

“Entrepreneurship means working more than ever.”
While the beginning may be intense, sustainable business is about designing a lifestyle and model that works for you. With the right mentorship, this initial phase can be significantly shortened.

What Do the First Steps Look Like?
Start with your inner motivation – Before you dive into strategy, get clear on your “why.” Is it freedom, creativity, purpose, or something else? This will ground you when challenges arise.

Identify your unique brilliance – What makes you different? What skills, experiences, and perspectives do you bring that no one else can? This is the core of your authentic offering.

Experiment with small steps – You don’t have to quit your job immediately. Start exploring your ideas on the side, test the waters, and build gradually.

Find support – Surround yourself with mentors, coaches, or like-minded women who understand this path. Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a lonely road.

Develop your entrepreneurial mindset – Learn to create value, solve problems, and listen to the market. This is a skill you can grow over time—and it will become second nature.

What’s Next?
If you’re standing at a crossroads but aren’t sure how to take the next step, I invite you to consider this: you don’t need to take a massive leap right away. Sometimes, the most powerful move is simply allowing yourself to explore—without pressure.

You can begin with small experiments, connect with women who’ve walked this path, or tune into the wisdom that’s already within you.

In my 1:1 program The Quantum Queen Journey, I support women in gaining clarity, confidence, and the inner strength they need to step into entrepreneurship with purpose and alignment. This program is designed especially for women who want to build a business that reflects every part of their identity—not just a version that fits someone else’s mold.

If something inside you is whispering (or shouting) that it’s time, trust that. You don’t have to figure it all out today—but you do have to listen.

What’s the step that feels most challenging to you right now? What’s your biggest fear when it comes to starting your own business? Feel free to share—I’d love to hear where you are on your journey.

Your intuitive voice already knows the answer. Sometimes, all it takes is the right support to hear it more clearly—and the courage to follow it.

The freedom you gain on this path will ripple into every area of your life.
