Career Blast in a Half
Scaling Without Selling Out A $25 Million Story I Sharon Gillenwater
11 Dec 2024
What if Success Didn't Require Selling Out? What if the conventional startup playbook is wrong? Sharon Gillenwater sold her tech company in 2022 for $25M. But that's not the interesting part. The interesting part is how she did it. By ignoring almost everything Silicon Valley says you "must" do to succeed. Whether you're dreaming of starting your own venture, stuck in a soul-crushing corporate job, or simply tired of feeling like success requires compromise, Sharon's story offers a powerful alternative. She candidly shares how she overcame imposter syndrome, bootstrapped a successful company, and maintained her integrity while building serious wealth. Find out: Why Being an Outsider is an Asset? When everyone in your industry sees the world the same way, What happens when someone like you shows up with fresh eyes? Sharon did, and she spotted an opportunity hiding in plain sight. How Fear Is Driving Your Decisions? Sharon developed a simple test: "If my bank account had an extra $100K, Would I make the same choice?" What changes when you remove scarcity from your decision-making? What If Your Critics Are Scared For You? Here's the thing about naysayers, especially family: Their doubt often comes from love. What shifts for you when you see it from that perspective? The Point Is: The market is hungry for people and businesses that make things better. Not just better products, but better ways of working, better ways of treating people, better ways of measuring success. Sharon's story isn't about being nice or being profitable. It's about being both. And maybe that's the revolution you've been waiting for. Her new book, "Scaling with Soul," isn't just a memoir. It's an invitation to rethink what's possible for you in your career. Are you ready to accept?
