Are you juggling a full-time career while building your business? In this episode of The Dr. Des Show, I share the real, unfiltered truth about managing both lanes without losing your mind—or your health. From setting boundaries and protecting your time to treating your 9–5 as your first investor, I walk you through the exact strategies I used to build my consulting business while working in corporate public health.

Whether you’re testing the waters of entrepreneurship or deciding if it’s time to leap full-time into your business, this episode will help you:

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The CEO Mindset at Work: How to treat your 9–5 as your first investor and leverage it for skills, certifications, and startup capital.
  • Defining Your Seasons: Why it’s okay to let work or business take the lead at different times—and how to plan for those shifts.
  • Protecting Your Time: Practical tips for time-blocking business hours and building boundaries that stick.
  • Visibility That Works: How to build credibility online without announcing that you’re leaving your job.
  • Knowing When to Pivot: Questions to ask yourself before deciding whether to climb the corporate ladder or jump fully into entrepreneurship.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can truly thrive in both worlds, this episode is your blueprint.
