In this episode of Dominate Your Day, Amy Chambers shares her story of leaving a successful corporate career to pursue entrepreneurship as a consultant.

Her transition wasn’t just a career change; it was a complete overhaul of how she viewed success, personal growth, and leadership. Amy found strength in taking small steps toward her goals—whether that meant reaching out to people for advice, writing daily, or breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable pieces. Over time, these small efforts built momentum, helping her build a successful business and eventually author two books.

Her first book, The 7 V.I.R.T.U.E.S. of Exceptional Leaders: Becoming a Legendary Leader Who Transforms Teams, draws directly from her years of corporate leadership experience, offering a framework to help leaders create a thriving culture. With the acronym "VIRTUES," Amy outlines principles like vision, involvement, and encouragement, teaching leaders how to empower their teams and transform their organizations. Her second book, The 6 H.A.B.I.T.S. of Powerful People: Autographed, Limited-Edition Hardback with Personalized Message, takes a more personal approach, focusing on how to lead yourself by forming habits that align with your vision of the future. By breaking down these habits into simple, actionable steps, Amy shows readers how to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be in life.

For Amy, the journey of entrepreneurship and leadership has always been about taking responsibility—both for the successes and for the challenges. Through her company and her books, Amy invites others to do the same: to take charge of their lives and lead with purpose.
