Do You Have a Plan B? Why Every Woman in Corporate Needs One
Do You Have a Plan B?
Do you have a Plan B? It’s the question too many corporate women avoid asking — until it’s too late.
Redundancy, restructure, or budget cuts can change your career in a moment. Your job title, identity, and financial stability can disappear overnight. Without a Plan B, you’re left questioning: “What do I do now?”
The truth is, your career is never 100% safe. That’s why having a Plan B isn’t just smart — it’s essential.
Why Relying Only on Corporate Is a Risk
Corporate life can feel secure. You work hard, deliver results, and climb the ladder. But change happens fast. Companies restructure. Technology replaces roles. Priorities shift.
When that happens, the loss isn’t just financial. For many women, it feels like losing who they are. Career and identity are often so tightly linked that losing the role brings fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
That’s why a Plan B matters — it protects not just your income, but your confidence and sense of self.
How a Plan B Puts You in Control
Having a Plan B doesn’t mean leaving your job tomorrow. It means you’re prepared. You know you can support yourself and your family no matter what.
Here’s what a Plan B gives you:
- Financial security: You’re not dependent on one income stream.
- Confidence: You know your skills can be monetised.
- Identity: You’re more than your job title.
- Freedom: You leave on your terms, not someone else’s.
With it, you step into the driver’s seat of your career and life.
What a Strong Plan B Looks Like
Not all Plan Bs are equal. The best ones are strategic and aligned with your lifestyle goals.
A strong Plan B is built on three pillars:
- Clarity: Who you serve, what you do, and how you deliver results.
- Credibility: Becoming the go-to expert in your space.
- Visibility: Showing up so opportunities and clients can find you.
When these three come together, you’re no longer waiting for permission. You’re building a business that gives you purpose, balance, and freedom.
My Turning Point
When I was in corporate, I thought credibility lived in your Title, Position, Salary and a Calendars packed with meetings. But deep down, I knew I wanted more. I craved the freedom to create, to make an impact, to design work that fit my life and not the other way around.
The turning point came when I realised credibility wasn’t tied to corporate. It came from showing up and sharing my expertise. That’s when my Plan B became my path forward — and eventually, my only plan.
Now, I help ambitious women create their own transition out of corporate, with confidence and clients ready.

So, let me ask you again: Do you have a Plan B?
Because without one, you’re leaving your future in someone else’s hands. But with one, you gain financial freedom, security, and the confidence to step into your next chapter on your terms.
