Tired of corporate grind? It’s time to break free, build your dream, and stop sacrificing yourself for a paycheck. Let’s do this!
About this Event

Are You Done Grinding Yourself into the Ground for Someone Else’s Dream?

You wake up every morning dreading the day ahead. Your alarm screams, pulling you back into a world where you’re overworked, underappreciated, and constantly putting your mental health on the back burner. You’ve sacrificed you in exchange for a paycheck, and deep down, you know it’s unsustainable.

If this hits home, it’s time to make a change. It's time to break up with corporate.

Imagine a life where you call the shots. Where the hustle is yours. Where your mornings are filled with purpose, not dread. Picture yourself building something that actually means something to you—whether it's a small business, a passion project, or an empire. That’s what working for yourself looks like. Freedom. Flexibility. Control.

This workshop is your first step to make that dream a reality. We’ll cut through the corporate BS and give you practical, hands-on strategies to start building your business. No fluff. No jargon. Just simple, actionable steps to take your idea from a scribble in a notebook to a fully formed business plan.


Why I Can Teach You This:

I’ve spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder—from advertising agencies to startups and eventually building and running global companies. On paper, it looked like I had it all: the high-profile positions, the responsibility, the so-called success. But the price? Three burnouts, crumbling mental health, and a complete neglect of my own needs and values. I even went through a divorce because I just wasn’t okay anymore.

I made so many mistakes along the way—collected bruises, scratches, and faceplants. But I kept pushing, and I learned the hard way what it takes to break free. Now, I want to pay that experience forward so you don’t have to go through the same pain and struggle that I did.

That’s why I made the decision to break up with corporate for good and build something for myself. Now, I’m here to show you how to do it, too—without the mistakes, burnout, and stress that I went through.

 


What You’ll Get:
  • A clear roadmap to transition from your 9-to-5 grind to building your own business.
  • The foundational steps to turning your idea into an actual business.
  • Direct, no-nonsense advice on what it really takes to make this leap.
  • Tools and templates to start planning and executing your business dream immediately.
  • Insights into how to manage the emotional and mental shift of leaving corporate life behind.


This isn’t just about quitting your day job—it’s about taking control of your life. I’ll show you how to hustle on your terms. You’ll walk away with real tools to get started and the confidence that you can break free from the corporate grind.
