Do you feel stuck in a dead-end job and wonder, Can I really build a new career from scratch? If so, you need to hear Sheila’s story.
Sheila joined my Transcript Proofreading Academy while working three jobs…and (spoiler alert!) she was able to quit them all and become a full-time proofreader!
Sheila is no stranger to reinvention and hard work.
- She taught abroad in Japan and Brazil.
- She owned a café with her husband for over a decade.
- And when life threw yet another curveball her way, she relied on her resourcefulness and determination to create something new.
Now in her 60s, she’s thriving as a full-time transcript proofreader. She swapped long commutes and heavy lifting for mornings filled with coffee, work she loves, and the freedom to structure her days how she wants.
Sheila’s story is proof that no matter your age or how many jobs you’re juggling, you can start fresh and build a career that fits your life and makes you happy.
In this episode, Sheila shares how she made the leap and why it’s never too late to try something new. Tap here to listen! I can’t wait for you to be as inspired by her as I am.
