EPISODE 42: Exiting The 9 to 5 To Start A Business - Challenges & Advantages

“You need to really listen to your inner voice, really channel into what your purpose is on earth... and you will find what you’re truly good at.” - Kayann Saunders

After over a decade of working in the corporate and hospitality industries, my guest Kayann
Saunders grew tired of the 9-5 lifestyle... and decided to pursue her dream of becoming an
entrepreneur. 

Kayann now owns and operates not one, but TWO successful businesses, working as an
independent licenced mortgage agent and as CEO of Vincan Personal Concierge, her
personal assistant and lifestyle management company.

Kayann launched Vincan as a cleaning service when she first moved to Canada, before
putting the business on hold after landing her first corporate job. Since relaunching Vincan in
2019, she has expanded its offerings to include day-to-day errands, household reorganization
and decluttering, decor and staging, and house sitting, among other services.

This brilliant and timely shift perfectly positioned the company to thrive during the pandemic,
as Vincan’s errand services have become invaluable to its clients!

Determined to build a career based on her strengths and purpose, Kayann followed her
passion for helping others. Press play now to hear Kayann’s inspiring story of perseverance
