Show Notes
After graduating college with a finance degree in hand, I set out to do what everyone always told me to do: Go to school, get good grades, get a good job and climb the corporate ladder for the next 40-50 years and then retire and enjoy life. So I did!
Three years into that journey, I realized the cubicle life wasn’t for me. Why do something I HATE for 40-50 years to then enjoy life when I’m 65-70 years old…that didn’t sound like a good time to me. Especially when I realized that the corner office wasn’t so sexy after all. So I quit…and started my first real business.
Two years in, I was having great success: I loved what I was doing, I was my own boss and we were growing like crazy! The downside? I was working 60-80 hours per week, doing everything, and realized that it wasn’t sustainable forever. The demand was there but I literally couldn’t do any more physically or mentally. After taking a few steps back, I realized that if something ever happens to me, my business would go to zero quickly.
Long story short, by leveraging the power of systems & process in order to empower staff and create the best customer experience in the industry, I was able to double my business while cutting the hours I worked in half. In four short years of owning my business, I was able to go from $0 to $500k. I had achieved the freedom that I was looking for.
One to never sit still, I sold the business for 3x net profit and I was ready for the next opportunity.
Which brings us here today. I am now a coach and advocate for YOU, the small business owner. You started your business to MAKE MORE, not less, WORK LESS, not more, and to have MORE FREEDOM, not less! Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. But it’s no need to get discouraged. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
My Promise to You: To make sure you have all of the tools you need to make more, work less, and build a valuable business that no longer needs YOU to survive. After all, if your business needs you to survive, it’s actually not a business at all. It’s simply a very STRESSFUL J-O-B. I made every mistake along the way but came out on the other side with a proven process that works…for any business!
