Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Martin McGovern, Founder of Career Therapy, located in Chicago, IL, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Career Therapy helps professionals improve their ability to successfully navigate the ups and downs of their careers, including layoffs, mid-career crises, imposter syndrome, career changes, and more. Find your purpose and build a career that works for you.

Tell us about yourself

With a background in marketing, education, and psychotherapy, I help people understand their emotions, reframe their experiences, and better communicate their needs to achieve their professional goals.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

As a coach, I love the moments when clients begin to understand themselves, their values, and how to play the career game. When they no longer need coaching and can use these skills to navigate the rest of their career, it is beautiful to see.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The most challenging part of being a business owner, especially in career coaching and mental health, is ensuring I can be in a healthy place to help my clients. Balancing entrepreneurship, my physical and mental health, and my personal life can be challenging at times, but being there for others makes it all worth it.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Understand yourself and find the pace that works for you. There is no end to the amount you can work, so be sure to take care of yourself as you begin this journey.
