What’s holding you back?

You dream of starting your own business.
Yet, *something* is keeping your foot on the bra
kes.
Be it fear of failure, uncertainty, financial concerns, and lack of confidence, experience, or support.
Something is holding you back from living the life you envision.

But is inaction really worth it?

Stop saying, “I want to be an entrepreneur,” and start taking intentional steps to become one.

If you are…
  • Trapped in a job that doesn’t align with your values

  • Navigating a layoff or quiet quitting

  • Working to live

  • Desperate to escape the corporate world

  • Longing for freedom and purpose

  • Tired of reading some of the “best books for entrepreneurs” without realistic advice

  • Looking for guidance from a relatable entrepreneur who gets it

Activate the mindset needed to go from wantrepreneur to entrepreneur

I'VE BEEN THERE

After graduating from Indiana University Kelley School of Business, I worked as a Market Strategist for a real estate company. Not to toot my own horn, but I was doing a stellar job, growing multiple social media accounts, building relationships, and delivering excellent results. Colleagues, clients, and local business owners raved about my work. Yet, something didn’t seem quite right.

I felt stuck and doomed. Was this it? Was this corporate job aligned with my vision and what I saw myself doing for the next fifty years? Although it was an excellent position, I craved deeper passion and fulfillment in my work.

I realized I already had the skillset and experience to pave my path. I could start my own business to serve the clients I wanted to work with, design systems and marketing plans, and build a team on my terms. All while reaching my professional and personal goals,  learning invaluable insight about myself, and making enough money to live happily, save, and multiply my earnings.

And I knew I couldn’t do this if I worked for somebody else or operated under the structure of an organization. I wanted to be free to dream BIG and reach my unbounded potential.

So I jumped. And now, I want to inspire you to do the same!

Many
others
have been there too.

As of 2022, there were 33.2 million small businesses in the U.S., which accounts for 99.9% of companies in the country (source: US Chamber).

 

So there’s a whole lot of us out there! 

The majority were ready to be their own bosses (28%). Many were motivated by their dissatisfaction with corporate America (23%) or the desire to pursue their passion (13%).

Others were laid off (10%), not ready to retire (10%), or received a great opportunity (9%). And a small number had a new business idea (4%) or experienced a major life event (2%) (source: Guidant Financial).

About the author:
Macy Troyer

Hi, there! I’m Macy. I’m the author of Ready, Mindset, Go! and the founder and CEO of Goaldy, a social media marketing and consulting agency, and Kindspire, encouragement cards to connect us around the world. I grew up with a creative and vibrant entrepreneurial spirit (you could catch me doing paid Elvis impersonations at church when I was little—who does that?).


After completing my Marketing, Business Management, and International Studies major, I helped many organizations with their social media marketing and landed the perfect corporate job. But truthfully, I was unfulfilled. I was yearning for purpose, passion, and living up to my potential. I had a fire inside me, a voice screaming to be heard.


And I decided to listen to it.


Building Goaldy has been a genuine labor of intuition, drive, risk, and continuous learning. I love living by my values and helping leaders elevate their businesses and brands online.


Writing this book is an extension of that mission. I hope these pages can set you up for success as you listen to your inner voice and dive into entrepreneurship.

  • Why did you write this book?
    A few years ago, I was on an airplane going on my first self-employed vacation to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

How did you build your confidence to do it? I want to do it too! And it hit me right there in the window seat. I should write a book about this! I felt compelled to tell my story and empower people like you to take step zero on your entrepreneurship adventure—preparing your mindset and understanding what to expect before you take the plunge.
