183- How To Transition from Corporate America to Entrepreneurship + All The Other Things They Don't Tell You About Owning A Business w/ Tammeca Rochester

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What happens when COVID strikes your business and you have to pivot in an instance? Tammeca Rochester did exactly that and shares how she was able to keep her fitness business, Harlem Cycle, thriving during an extremely difficult time. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tammeca did not set out to start her own cycling studio, but when she felt the pull to do so, she listened to it.  Tammeca first started as an engineer then switched to the marketing field and then transitioned into running her business, Harlem Cycle, a cycling studio. She always knew she had an immense passion for helping people discover who they are and who they want to be, so when she passed an empty space for sale in Harlem on her afternoon run, it clicked in that moment that cycling should be brought to Harlem.  Tammeca knew what was possible and went after what she wanted. She came up with the idea for Harlem Cycle in November 2015, signed her lease in February 2016 and held her first cycling class in April 2016. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Tammeca shares how starting a business is possible and the obstacles she overcame to make it successful. I hope you are as excited as I am to  head to Harlem (post COVID), hop on the bike, and take part in the magic of Harlem Cycle. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode you’ll learn:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why you should take the leap and do what scares you </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The potential start up costs to a brick and mortar </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to market your new business </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ways to pivot your business during COVID and much more...</span></li> </ul> <p>Special thanks to DCU for sponsoring the episode!
