From Employee To Entrepreneur: How Bonnie Allen Turned a 7-Figure Exit into a Thriving Start-Up with Balance Well"
Description
Bonnie has "won the game", an employee turned entrepreneur, exited her last business for 7 figures and, as a serial entrepreneur, came to us to start her second business, Balance Well. Bonnie shares her entrepreneurial journey and the importance of balance and wellness in her life. She started her career in sales and marketing and quickly developed an entrepreneurial mindset. She founded her first business, Zylotech, which provided IT services to businesses. However, after 13 years, she realised that it no longer fulfilled her and decided to move on.
After experiencing first-hand the cost of losing balance, a "flirt with cancer", a divorce, and so much more, Bonnie chose to focus on her newfound passion, health and wellness through balance. Bonnie emphasises the need to prioritise oneself and find a balance between work and personal life. She shares her strategies for managing stress and creating a structured routine to achieve balance. Bonnie wanted her clients to feel supported, empowered, and equipped to continue their health journey even after their time with Balance Well.
Bonnie encourages employees to think like entrepreneurs in their respective roles and not be afraid to take the leap. Bonnie shares the advice she wishes she has received earlier on in her journey and so much more in this episode of She's Taking Over.
