It’s never been easier to start an online business.
But growing that business to support yourself, your family, and your ideal lifestyle is totally different.
If we haven’t met before — Hi, my name is Thomas 👋
I started my first business in 2016, after quitting my job as a pharmacy technician making just $14/hr.
When I started, I knew absolutely nothing about growing a business.
After hundreds of hours scouring the internet for information, I finally learned the basics of lead generation, sales, and offer creation.
All I knew was that I wanted a business that offered freedom and flexibility — Plus great profits. I was willing to do whatever it took…
But nearly 3 years later, after getting great at sales and generating leads, I burnt out.
I returned to a 9-5 corporate job because after all that time, I was still working too many hours.
My health suffered. I was embarrassed to see my friends and family due to the weight I gained.
I was divorced and single, with no time for dating. I knew I needed a change.
But despite working a 9-5, I still had the entrepreneurial spirit. I side hustled while working as a financial consultant, sales trainer, then financial analyst.
In 2021, I launched my corporate financial consulting offer. I started this business while working as a financial analyst at a healthcare startup. I also began my MBA program at the time, which I completed in August of 2022.
During this time period I worked a 9-5, completed my MBA, and built my consulting side hustle to $10k per month. At the time it was surreal. I had finally cracked the code to operate a business using as little hours on my behalf as possible.
In the summer of 2022, I accepted a better role as a financial analyst, but after 6 months there, I quit.
It didn’t make sense to work a full-time job anymore alongside a side hustle. Not when the opportunity cost was so high.
I could easily make 10x more scaling my one person business than I could doing both. So I put in my notice on the first working day of 2023 and left corporate for good.
Since then, I’ve generated over $500k in revenue for my one-person businesses, including financial consulting, content writing, and coaching.
I credit this success to my years spent mastering sales and lead-gen, but combining it with a relentless focus on systemization.
But even after the success, I still had a problem — I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my work.
I had more free time than ever, but no one to share that time with…
