In this special episode of The Adrian Tan Show, originally aired on the Thought Leadership Club podcast hosted by Cheryl Lau, I delve into my transition from corporate life to solo entrepreneurship.

Cheryl and I discuss the concept of becoming virtually unemployable after running your own business, the realities of being your own boss, and how to determine if solo entrepreneurship is right for you.

We also explore strategies for building a personal brand on LinkedIn, with practical advice and tips from my Amazon SG bestseller book, No More Bosses.

Whether you're contemplating entrepreneurship, already on this path, or curious about sustainable self-employment, this conversation offers valuable insights and advice.
