When the frustration and the pain of your job or your profession becomes great enough you will make a change, so says our guest for today’s episode Mr. Omar Zenhom. And Omar would know, he spent 13 years in the teaching world before making the leap into entrepreneurship.

He had had side projects since 2000 but one day his frustration overtook his fears, and he knew he had to leave his job as an educator and start his own business. Today he educates people how to build businesses through tools on his web site and his podcast, The $100 MBA.

On this show he gives us practical suggestions on how to find your ideal business idea and how to make the transition from working for someone else to running your own business.
