Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Judith Kurnick, founder of Judith Kurnick Coaching LLC., located in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

As a coach, I help lawyers, executives, and business owners over 50 escape corporate life and create a meaningful next chapter. Many high achievers want to continue using their skills and experience to make an impact, just not at the breakneck pace they've been keeping. I help them discover that it is possible to keep working and invest in their longevity.

Tell us about yourself

As a former C-suite executive, I was so driven that it took a heart procedure to convince me something had to change. In reality, I had been burned out for some time. I just didn't think I had other options, financially or emotionally. Once I realized that coaching was my calling, I wanted to give others the help I wish I had received. Helping 50 and 60-somethings find the possibilities that fulfill them is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I haven't looked back once.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Changing my brand: from a nationally known communications strategist to an expert coach.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Knowing when to turn off and take a break!!!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Be very clear and specific about your ideal customer; know their habits as well as their fears and desires.
  2. If you don't have marketing expertise, hire it. Not all social media are for everyone, and there are other channels that may serve you as well or better.
  3. Have a cushion of at least 18 months to live on before you rely on your business.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Entrepreneurs over 50 have a higher chance of success than many younger folks. We have the skills, the network, and the resources. You just have to believe in yourself.
