Not another 'get rich' scheme
And it isn't another "escape the rat race" pitch.
It's a live, transformative workshop crafted specifically for
accomplished professionals who feel the weight of untapped potential crushing their dreams.
We cut through the chaos - immediately. No motivational fluff. No recycled content. Just the radical clarity you need to finally see your path forward.
You won't get empty promises about passive income. Instead, you'll receive a proven blueprint to build your dynamic Portfolio Career - one that honors all your talents, not just the ones that fit in a corporate box.
You'll discover how to architect a premium business that leverages your unique Advantages, has the power to create multiple income streams, and supports the freedom lifestyle you've always imagined - all while maintaining your corporate stability (for now).
The Portfolio Career is achievable.
But what's even more powerful? Finally breaking free from the "pick a lane" mentality that's been suffocating your true potential.
This is your gateway to Self-Directed Freedom.
This is the Freedom Accelerator Lab™.
What You'll Implement In This Workshop
This isn't another passive webinar. It's an intensive working session designed to help you engineer your Self-Directed Freedom — with radical clarity, proven frameworks, and unstoppable momentum.
Exactly how YOU can restructure your weeks to own your time, have more space and invest that time back into your dreams - without quitting or worrying again.
01. Take Back 40% Of YOUR Time.
The exact process to re-discover your Foundational Value - the unique intersection of you at your best. Then use it to build the business you resonate with.
02. Find Your Uncopyable Edge
The decision making frameworks to avoid chasing business "models" that will 100% lead to burnout, failure and wasted time.
03. Avoid The Burnout Business
Risk has a hidden upside. Learn how to frame uncertainty so it emboldens you to make the smart moves you know you should, while protecting you today.
04. Leverage Uncertainty
Learn, and implement the exact skill stack you need to tackle change head on, move your business forward, and know you will be OK. (Hint: it has nothing to do with what's on your resume)
05. Unbreakable Skill Sets
Employ real world validation strategies that reduce risk, increase confidence and keep you moving forward - without spinning your wheels.
06. Build With Confidence
Business is the vehicle ready to take you to where you've always wanted to go.
We live at a Renaissance moment.
Where it's never been simpler to make money outside of a job, but also where our businesses are the vehicles to creative and aligned professional fulfillment.
If this were just about the money, you'd already be grinding on that Amazon product, flipping real estate or building a "course" - maybe even acting like you're interested in it.
Maybe you even went down the "passive income" rabbit hole — only to discover it required active delusion and felt completely hollow.
Because you know the truth: this isn't about another revenue stream. You want a life that honors ALL of who you are.
Welcome to the Self-Directed Renaissance
Where YOU choose how to design your life and build the business that is an extension of YOU.
You want:
Time sovereignty — full ownership of your hours and energy
Radical clarity — no more swirling chaos in your mind about what's next. Just clear purpose.
Productive creativity — Work that leverages your complete genius — not just the sanitized corporate version
A Portfolio Career you're genuinely proud of — one that makes sense of all your talents
Presence with the people who matter — not just productivity for people who don't
This isn't a side hustle.
This is Self-Direction.
A complete reimagining of what's possible when you stop picking a lane and start building your own highway.
Who This Workshop Is For
This Workshop is designed for a very specific type of person.
It is for accomplished corporate professionals — high performers who've done everything right… but now feel the weight of living someone else's definition of success instead of their own. And they feel the clock ticking.
Maybe it's the internal chaos — that restless knowing that you have so much more to offer than what fits in your lane.
Maybe it's external pressure — a layoff, a toxic restructure, or watching yet another mediocre leader get promoted while your genius goes unrecognized.
Either way, something inside you is screaming: it's time.
You're ready for this workshop if you fall into at least 1 of these buckets:
1. Maxed out and suffocating
You've achieved the "dream" — title, comp, respect — but you're dying inside. You want to honor ALL your talents, not just the sanitized corporate version. You need a blueprint to build your Portfolio Career without blowing up your life.
2. Between chapters (layoff or transition)
The corporate safety net just vanished — and honestly? Part of you feels relief. You're done playing small. You want to architect something that's actually YOURS, but you need radical clarity on what that looks like.
3. Already building — but drowning in confusion
You took the leap, but now you're scattered across 17 half-baked ideas with no revenue model and mounting panic. You need structure, strategy, and someone who's actually done this to show you the way.
BOTTOM LINE:
No business degree required. No "entrepreneurial DNA" needed. Just 100% commitment to engineering your Self-Directed Freedom — and the courage to stop picking a lane.

Hear From The Legends
Paul, Financial Services
"I'm grateful for my time working with Mike and his program. It helped me through a time of great change. Mike helped me come around to a far healthier view of myself and my career. That alone helped me build my next chapter."
Randy, Corporate Innovation
"It's impossible to overstate the impact Mike has had on the process I desperately needed to go through: defining my own vision, my own success - with purpose, clarity on where to focus, and the actual tactics for how to break out of the personal and professional rut I found myself in."
Matt, SAAS Payments
"This program is unique for individuals evaluating a new direction, or looking to get out of their comfort zone. Mike is a supportive leader while also challenging everyone to grow, and provides a roadmap to break free from the old, and chase what you deem most rewarding."
Brent, Financial Services
"After I was unexpectedly laid off from my job with a prominent wealth management firm, I had a choice to make: do I find another job, or do I chart my own path? I knew I wanted to be an owner and not an employee. I also knew I wanted to remain in wealth management, so I began to outline what I wanted my firm to look like. But I was stuck on the “how”, and didn’t know how to go about finding and evaluating my options. Mike helped me see there could be a middle path - one with less risk, but that still got the fulfillment I was looking for from entrepreneurship."
Kristin, Defense Industry
"Before working with Mike, I was unfocused and scattered about how to bring my business idea to life. He provided constructive feedback on tactical tasks that helped me get my dreams and my vision moving with concrete, bite-sized steps. He has such a wide-ranging set of professional experiences that he could answer any question and put himself in my shoes instantly. He has an unbelievable ability to actively listen and distill down precisely what information or help you’re looking for and then deliver it. I am way more unbreakable after working with and knowing Mike."
Macy, Freelance Content Marketer
"Before working with Mike, I struggled with indecision, investing in myself, and figuring out the next steps to build the life I wanted. But now, I’m finally betting on myself. I learned to make more odds-based decisions, and better assess risk in changes I want to make. I now work as a freelancer and have more time and financial freedom. If you want to level up - in your career or personally, I highly recommend!"
We Feel Your Fear. It's ok.
You can't. Not the way you're operating now. Most of what's crushing you right now isn't actually moving the needle. It's corporate theater, politics, and low-leverage activities that keep you busy but stuck. This Lab teaches you to audit your time, eliminate the noise, and redirect that reclaimed capacity toward building your future. You're not adding to your plate. You're redesigning the entire kitchen.
Fair question. Here's the truth: nothing changes if you DON'T invest. The cost of staying stuck compounds daily — your health, your relationships, your sanity, your earning potential. Every month you wait is another month of unrealized income, unfulfilled potential, and mounting regret. This isn't an expense — it's the down payment on Self-Directed Freedom. The real risk? Looking back in 5 years wishing you'd started today.
That's the voice of corporate conditioning talking — the same one that's been systematically undervaluing your expertise for years. You've been solving million-dollar problems for decades, but because you got a salary instead of client fees, you think you're not "qualified"? Listen: your future clients will pay for transformation, not credentials. They'll pay for the specific problems you can solve that they're desperate to fix. Your experience IS your expertise — we just need to package it correctly.
Have you asked? What do you think they want for you? Likely to be happy and present and content. Which you're not right now.
But they're also terrified of losing the stability you've built. And honestly? That fear is valid. Which is exactly why we DON'T blow up your life. We build your future WHILE protecting your present. When your family sees you gaining clarity, reclaiming energy, and creating real options instead of drowning in corporate chaos — the conversation shifts.
Short answer - you can't. But that's not your real hesitation. You're actually worried about your commitment level. "Can I leverage this framework to make my life better?" That's the real question. The framework works the same across people because human decision-making is the same. What changes is the application. We're not teaching you to be something you're not. We're helping you monetize what you already know in a way the market actually values.
Perfect. Because we're not starting with a business model. Most people who come in don't know. We're starting with YOUR genius and Advantages. Not the sanitized corporate version. Not some trending niche. The full spectrum of who you actually are and what you're capable of. Your path will emerge from THAT — not from some guru's template.
You're not 22 — and that's your ADVANTAGE. You have judgment. Experience. A reputation. Resources. A network built over decades. The people crushing it in Portfolio Careers aren't starting from zero — they're starting from YOUR position. The only way you're too late is if you let fear convince you to stay stuck.
