George Russell’s partner Carmen Montero Mundt recently revealed through a Q&A on her Instagram story how she took a plunge into the world of self-employment. Having a background in financial planning, she invests her money in businesses established by women entrepreneurs for profit.
Before that, she was working in a full-time role as an investment banker, which she eventually quit to basically create a job for herself. However, her story got called out by one of her followers who pointed out that not everyone is as privileged as herself to quit their job and become self-employed.
Mundt reacted to this comment through another story, where, while she agreed with the sentiments of the fan, she also explained how she had to make sacrifices to get to this stage in her career.
Mundt wrote, “Very rational comment to make and 1,100% agree. I lived in London for two years while my partner was living abroad to ensure I had enough savings and felt comfortable taking the risk of being self-employed.”
“I had financial targets before I stopped working for a company that I knew where enough to jump into the unknown (risk) without too much pressure. Financial planning is essential for me,” she concluded.
