Rikke.me: Entrepreneurship & Career Change

Leah Z – From Idea Overwhelm To Biz

“I kept coming up with new business ideas, but then I’d question myself and give up before I saw any real results. (Or, I’d talk myself out of them before I even started!). I’m positive I would’ve been stuck in that same idea overwhelm cycle for another decade if I hadn’t decided to take the leap and worked with Rikke.”

“Rikke helped me not only create a new career for myself, but create a career that didn’t even exist before. It’s only been a year since working with Rikke, and I’m already starting to be known as THE ‘go to’ person in my industry for what I do. And I now have more people reaching out to me for business than I have time, which is incredible”

David O – From Finance To Wellness

“My biggest issue was around HOW MUCH of a career change I truly needed (i.e. was the problem just my job. Or was it my ENTIRE profession of finance?). Turns out I’m NOT crazy for wanting to quit both my job AND my profession, and do my own thing instead!”

“I just couldn’t recommend Rikke highly enough. The fact that she truly understands my professional background (as a former corporate herself) gave me a lot of comfort. And I love her direct and honest she is (just like on The Career Change Podcast!).”

SJ Dowman – From employee to own agency

“I would recommend anyone who is considering branching out on their own, or who has a spark of a new business idea they believe in, to invest in working with Rikke to help them fine tune their vision and kickstart their start-up journey.

Rikke can help you both on a practical level (building action plans and keeping momentum) and on an emotional level (overcoming limiting beliefs like imposter syndrome – a big one for me! – and helping keep you upbeat and positive), thanks to her many years working with entrepreneurs and career changers just like you.

I know my journey has only just started, but having had someone there to guide me at the beginning has made it a much smoother and less stressful process than I’m sure it could have been had I tried stumbling through on my own. Thank you ever so much Rikke!”

Matt Hudson – From Trader To Sports Entrepreneur

“Rikke’s focus and understanding and her uncanny ability to ask those pertinent questions assures you that you are speaking to a highly experienced and intelligent transition expert who is driven by her passion of helping people in my position.”

“I had been in the same industry for 18 years, the same company for 13. I had become bored and disillusioned with investment banking, and craved a new challenge and to start something for myself. I just didn’t know what my ‘thing’ was.

After spending just 1 day with Rikke, I was transformed from someone who only knew what they didn’t want to do with their career into someone who knew exactly where I was going. Most importantly I had a great idea as to how I was going to get there, and a timeline from road testing (without handing in my notice) through to starting my new sports events business on a full time basis.

As a result my life is now completely on my terms. I work where and when I want to; I get to speak with renewed passion about my company; if I don’t like something I have the power to change it immediately AND I now have the autonomy to attend all of my daughters’ school events.”

Gabi Thesing – Right Career, Wrong Job

“After working with Rikke, I felt a huge burden was lifted and I could really go after my new career and get my life back.”

“I had a high flying career as a business journalist and when I felt I was done with it, I had no Plan B. The problem was that I knew what I didn’t want to do, but had no ideas what I wanted to do or even could do. I was thinking of a radical shift and going down the ‘opening a café, becoming a therapist route.’ Thankfully Rikke saved me from myself and convinced me that actually only a minor tweak in my career path was needed. Four months later, I have a new job that I love and which challenges me, I work shorter hours and finally have a life. Rikke is very sharp, efficient and doesn’t sugar coat it – She gives you laser focused advice that will work for you.”
