Course overview

You deserve total freedom of time, location, and money. If you agree, read on.👇

Building your lifestyle business is a personal development challenge that pays dividends.


✅ Would you like to make a living on your own terms and run a business with joy?


✅ Have you ever felt stuck or overwhelmed when you started something new?


✅ Are you thinking of some ideas, but not sure how to advance from 0 to 1?


💰 Through your hobbies and your jobs, you've earned knowledge and knowhow that can be infinitely monetized. Your brainpower, network, and personal story are goldmines for your future.


📈


Solopreneurship is easier than employment.


The rule of thumb is that an employee should be worth 3x their own salary or they're dead weight. Your boss is always 1 decision (or emotional whim) away from deleting your livelihood. You'll deliver 3x your value in a company where you have no control.


Think about it.


Are you more confident about finding the right employer, appealing to them, and surviving without getting booted for a year or more?


Or are you more confident about landing the right client and impressing them, helping with something that fits your passion and proficiency?


🎯


For 10+ years, I've lived on my own terms, traveling the world and enjoying time for passion projects and loved ones. I'm talking 6-figure weeks and sold-out launches while sipping cocktails on a beach.🌴


I've systematized a decade of trial and error for you based on my tens of millions in wins and losses. This system has been my secret weapon and I use it all the time. It's how I build, test, and validate ideas on a 1-week timeline and new businesses on a 1-month timeline. That means I get 4 at-bats/month to generate a profitable idea and 12 at-bats/year to execute go-to-market.


Our alumni network includes the following people. As you can see, ANYONE is welcome.


★ Health & wellness influencers

★ Big firm consultants

★ Award-winning agency CEO

★ National security innovation manager

★ AI architect from Big Tech

★ Big Firm lawyer & BioTech expert

★ Machining & manufacturing founder

★ TV & media executives

★ Finance & private equity professionals

★ Cybersecurity expert

★ Nonprofit president

★ Military veterans

★ Freelancers


Whether you have a day job or a business of your own, diversifying the "Portfolio of You" is a good idea. Relying on one skill, one offer, or one industry means you're vulnerable to systemic change. Make yourself invincible in the market, from layoffs to industry changes.

        Luke helped me go from zero to one when I created my gym. He's an expert in branding, marketing, and business modeling. He helped me set up a physical space, as well as a membership program and private lesson funnel. My core skill is BJJ, not business, so I feel much better having him in my corner as I expand the business.

Serial Solopreneur

For the past 10 years, I've been living life on my own terms as an entrepreneur and solopreneur, traveling the world and enjoying time for passion projects and loved ones. I'm talking 6-figure weeks and sold-out launches while sipping cocktails on a beach. 🌴


But let's be real - this success didn't manifest overnight. I've seen my fair share of business flops, shouldered crippling debt, and watched fortunes slip through my fingers. Through it all, I became obsessed with cracking the code and sharing those hard-won lessons.


Fast forward to the present, and I've systematized a decade of trial and error for you based on my tens of millions in wins and losses. This system has been my secret weapon and I use it all the time.


Turning your intention into reality is beautiful and innately human. Embrace your inner entrepreneur and transform beyond employee mentality.


📜 Credentials: 5x hackathon organizer/founder (e.g. 3 Day Startup, Mobile World Congress, SmartWatch Hack at CITRIS). 8x executive for startup acceleration and corporate innovation (e.g. Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator, European Innovation Academy, Gateway Incubator). Ex-Director of Startup Grind, a community of 2+ million globally and 600+ locally. Personally coached/mentored 500+ entrepreneurs through Google for Startups, Haas Business School, and consular innovation programs (e.g. Swiss, Dutch, Norwegian, Latvian).
