Build a Business That Can Replace Your Corporate Salary Without Taking Over Your Life
You want something of your own.
Maybe you want more freedom and control over your time.
Maybe you want to use the full range of what you're capable of.
Or maybe you simply know you don't want to spend the next 10 or 20 years in corporate.
You have years of experience behind you. You know you could use it to build something of your own.
But there's a question underneath it:
More hours. More customers. More employees. More marketing. More complexity.
Here's what most business advice gets wrong:
Making more money doesn't automatically require more business.
You may need a much smaller, simpler business than you think.
And that's what I'm going to show you on October 28.

How to build a business that doesn't become another prison
Most people start with: What should I sell?
I think that's too early.
First, you need to decide what the business needs to give you, and what you're not willing to give up to build it.
I'll show you how to design around three constraints from the beginning:
So you don't build a successful business only to discover you've created another job you can't escape.
Why replacing your corporate salary may be more achievable than you think
A $250K or $300K business can sound enormous.
Until you look at the math.
I'll show you how the same revenue can come from radically different businesses, and why you may need far fewer customers, offers and moving parts than you think.
How to turn the experience you already have into a real business
You're not starting from zero.
You've already spent years solving problems, creating results, leading people and building expertise.
I'll show you how that experience can translate into something people will actually pay for, and the four things that have to work to make it viable:
Is this for you?
You're still in corporate and increasingly certain you don't want to spend the next 10 or 20 years there, but you're not sure what building something of your own could realistically look like.
You've already left corporate and have plenty of ideas, but you're struggling to figure out which one is actually worth pursuing.
You've started a business, but it's becoming more complicated, scattered or time-consuming than you intended.
You don't need to have the perfect business idea.
You don't need a giant audience.
And you don't need to know exactly what you're going to sell.
You just need to be curious about whether there's a way to make meaningful money and have more control over your life.
I learned this by building the wrong business first.
Hi, I'm Maya Grossman.
I spent 20 years in corporate, including two VP roles, before leaving at 40 to build something of my own.
In my first year, I made roughly $100K with five different offers and a business that required far too much work and complexity.
I assumed growing meant adding more.
I was wrong.
Eventually, I simplified.
The business grew to more than $500K with essentially one core offer, fewer moving parts and less work.
Today, I run a highly profitable business four days a week, with no full-time employees.
I didn't need to get better at running a complicated business. I needed to stop building the wrong one.
That's why I now believe you don't build the business first and hope it eventually gives you freedom.
You decide how you want your life to look while making the money, then build the business around that.
Save My SeatYou don't have to decide to leave corporate on October 28.
You don't even need to know exactly what you would build.
But if you've been wondering whether you could turn the experience you already have into a business that can replace your salary without sacrificing your life to make it work, let's make that question a lot less hypothetical.
I'll show you the math.
I'll show you the model.
And I'll show you what actually has to work to make it real.
