Midlife Women Charting a Path to Entrepreneurship with Michele Davis

What do you do when the job you have is no longer satisfying or fulfilling? Perhaps you do what Michele Davis did: you leave it and strike out on your own. Entrepreneurship may not be for everyone, but for those who are willing to put in the time and work, it’s a gratifying experience.

After over 20 years working for someone else, Michele decided it was time to live life on her terms. With a divorce behind her, and the loss of her son, Michele charted her path to entrepreneurship at the age of 44. She’s the founder of Marketing Gem Solutions, and Phenomenal Boss Academy.

Michele’s favorite quote is:

“Strive for progress, not perfection.” ~Joyce Meyer

“We’re so busy working working working in our careers supporting our employer that we actually forget who we are and our skills and the fact that we’re lending our skills to our employer.” ~Michele Davis
