How to Leave Your 9 to 5 and Actually Make It Work

aka: Freedom, Fulfillment, and a Bit of Financial Whiplash

Your job might be quietly killing your drive—and no one’s saying it out loud.

Not because you’re lazy. Not because you lack ambition. But because rigid hierarchies, internal politics, and “urgent” meetings about nothing are draining the spark that used to drive you.

And now? You’re not burning out—you’re tuning out. It’s called quiet quitting—that slow, silent retreat from going the extra mile. Not rebellion—just self-preservation.

👉 Only 23% of employees globally are engaged at work.

That’s not just bad business—it’s bad for your soul.

If the concept of quiet quitting hits home, I’m opening a 1-day live online coaching intensive this April for professionals who want to reset, refocus, and step into what’s next—with clarity and conviction. More on that in a moment.

I’ve felt that same friction. More than once.

I’ve always leaned toward working for myself. Not because jobs are bad (they’re not), but because there’s something thrilling about owning the whole game—from the skills I sharpen, to the people I serve, to the way I show up in the world.

For me, it always starts with a stirring…
Then it turns into me pitching a new business idea to Deb—my wife and official life advisor —who listens lovingly while doing her best not to roll her eyes. She’s heard this one before.

I’ve started four businesses and two nonprofits.
Some flopped. Some flew. Most lived somewhere in the messy, character-building middle.

The mistakes? Costly.
The wins? Life-changing.
The growth? Constant.

What I’ve discovered is this: when your skills, purpose, and creative freedom finally align, it’s electric. It mobilizes your whole self. And it’s hard to go back to anything less.

That’s why I help others make that same leap.
To go from the internal stirring… to a clear idea… to a bold move… to building a personal brand that drives impact and income.
