In 2014, when Matt Mullenweg shared the results of a 33K person survey, he found that a full quarter of the participants (25%!) were making their living from WordPress.

Now rewind a decade. Back in 2004, when Lisa Sabin-Wilson left a completely unrelated, non-tech career as a Registered Nurse to become a full time WordPress entrepreneur, she didn't have survey numbers or case studies to give her a confidence boost that her decision to switch careers would eventually pan out. At the time, WordPress was barely over a year old - what was she thinking??

A crucial component in making a drastic (and successful) career change is empowering your decision making. During her session at Prestige, Lisa will share her story of taking the major leap to WordPress, along with the steps she took to move in the direction of success. She'll cover formulas for evaluating financial impacts, quantifying transferrable skills, and determining true readiness for change in a way that sheds light on a decision many freelancers and entrepreneurs face - finding the tipping point where they can ultimately say "Ok this is it- Dear current career: I QUIT!"
