Work for Yourself
In the U.S. specifically, 50% of workers reported feeling stressed at their jobs on a daily basis, 41% as being worried, 22% as sad, and 18% angry. (Gallup, State of the Global Workplace: 2022). The Gallup report went on to say that “only 33% reported feeling engaged” at work. This number is down from two years prior.
Work-life balance, flexibility, time off, and shorter work weeks have all been cited as highly desired. Opportunity for promotion and higher incomes are also high on men’s goals.
Starting your own business allows the ultimate flexibility and growth so many of us desire. Whether it is a full time change or a part time hustle that you want to grow, working for yourself is incredibly rewarding both personally and financially. Schedule your Free Strategy Session now.
Quit my job?
Most people start their own business while they stay in their current job. This allows for dependable income while you work out the kinks in your new career.
Scalability
As you consider how to get started, it is vital to look at where you want to go. A little planning in the beginning will set up your growth potential and keep taxes, expenses, and stress to a minimum.
Beliefs & Discomfort
Understand the core beliefs you hold about yourself. Embrace them to prepare for growth challenges, fostering resilience and personal development.

Brent Miller
I’ve always been an entrepreneur. During college, I sold readymade fundraising packages to fraternities and sororities. After I graduated. I sold advertising in local strip malls. I look a W-2 job for insurance and security while I started my family but even within that company, I was always looking for new opportunities.
When the newspaper business took a major downturn in the 90’s, I opened an advertising agency. Bored and looking for a change seven years later, I ran teams of door-to-door canvassers for satellite television, trash services, and pest control.
When I moved across country to get remarried, I started a business as a handyman pulling in a six figure income within my first full year. To enjoy the benefits of working in air conditioning (and for my next challenge), I moved to Life Coaching with a focus on helping men find their next exciting opportunity. Whether you are just looking for another W-2 job or wanting to redefine and work for yourself, please schedule a free strategy session and find out what you are capable of.

“I want to travel more now that my kids are gone but I can’t afford it. A side hustle made all the difference.”
