Are you feeling burned out at work and wondering if you could actually start a business that gives you financial freedom instead of more stress? Maybe you’re a lawyer, teacher, healthcare professional, or in a corporate job and you’re quietly thinking, “I want to hang my own shingle, but I can’t afford to fail.”​In this conversation, consultant, speaker, and author Manny Skevofilax shares how he went from family hospitality to corporate banking to launching his own consulting business, helping owners maximize profit without growing themselves into the ground. You’ll hear how his immigrant parents’ story, his years as a commercial banker, and his work with billionaire business families taught him that simple profit habits and realistic growth targets beat hustle‑culture every time.​If you’re in the SAILING “Set your course” and “Anchor your readiness” stages—clarifying your purpose, values, and vision while you still have a paycheck—Manny’s story will help you see what’s really required to go out on your own. We talk about what actually happens when you leave a corporate job, why “fractional” can be the wrong word for your value, and how to avoid burnout by trading a little income for a lot more freedom.You’ll also hear how Manny approaches being a virtual CFO, why slow growth often leads to more profit, and what he wishes every burned‑out professional knew before they rush into entrepreneurship. Join Manny Skevofilax and me, LeAnn Lyon, as we help you grow and go beyond your current business plan into a more joyful, sustainable way of doing business and life.Get YOUR copy of Joy Minder's S.A.I.L.I.N.G System: https://joyminder.comSponsor Links:Why I Love My Coffee: energize without the jitters – https://WhyILoveMyCoffee.comStart/Restart Your Business Summit (FREE ticket): https://joyminder.com/summitConnect with MANNY:🎁 Free Gift: Manny’s free business growth guide.
