Your Instructor is Dirk Haupt and he's on a mission to start a small business revolution
The key to the small business lifestyle is to have an extraordinary mindset. Average thinking says "work for someone else, put in your time and retire" and the majority of the population think and lives this way. By being willing to adopt extraordinary thinking, you can achieve the business aspirations and lifestyle you dream of.
I believe in small business ownership and the lifestyle it provides - freedom, flexibility, and purpose. My passion for small business started early when I discovered a stark difference between the lifestyles of those with a j.o.b. and those with their own business. Since then, I've had several 9-5 jobs and several businesses and it's not easier, but it is better. With 25+ years of experience I now am able to serve others through small business bookkeeping, back office, and as a guide for those anywhere in their journey from couch to customers, whether you are at the idea stage or you've got paying customers.
Overall, I am just passionate about small business, teaching small business, and you the small business owner. I also love serving, including doing training for two outstanding nonprofits, Hope Women's Centers and Hustle Phoenix, I love trail running (especially when it is really hot outside!), love love love my family, my wife of 15+yrs, my twin teenage girls, and love life in general! It's a great journey!
