This week, I’m continuing my 12 Steps to Transitioning From Employee to Entrepreneur series. Our steps so far:

Step 1: Decide what you want your life to look like

Step 2: Research your industry options

Step 3: Consult your family

(Did you do your homework?)

Step 4 is all about paving the way for a smooth departure from your job.

Now that you know you’ll be taking your exit when the time comes, you must pave the way for a smooth departure. It’s never too early to make sure you set yourself up for a successful transition that does not burn any bridges and helps turn your co-workers into advocates for your new brand.
