I Set Out to Build a Business That Would Provide Freedom
 For Years it DID... Until it Took My Freedom Right Back.Â
Today, I help founders make sure that never happens to them.
Â
The Tina Sue Story:
In 1999 I started my first company, with zero business experience, pregnant with my daughter because I wanted to build something meaningful and still be present for my growing family.
For a few years, it worked perfectly.
Then the business became "successful" and the freedom disappeared.
I missed bedtimes, missed baths, and one Christmas morning, I left my kids mid-gifts to go handle a staffing crisis.
The business wasn't failing.
It was succeeding.
But I had never build my own freedom into it.
I did what many owners do at this point: I put the business on the market to sell. The deal feel apart the night before closing.
That was the moment I decided to figure out how to have the business, time freedom and the money I deserved all at the same time.
 It took a few years, but it worked. I acquired a competitor, elevated my leadership team, and built systems and processes to support the entire business.
The business was operating without me. I started several other businesses in the meantime.Â
A strategic buyer noticed and made a 7 figure offer. I exited that business in 2015.Â
That exit taught me something nobody had prepared me for. Building a business for freedom is one thing. Protecting it and converting success into lasting personal wealth is an entirely different conversation. So I made it my mission to share that knowledge with other owners.
I've been advising owners since 2011, served as VP of Finance and Acquisitions at a national advisory firm helping scale it through strategic acquisitions.
I hold the Certified Exit Planning Advisor credentials because the exit should be part of the strategy from day 1.Â
I have sat in every seat at the table: founder, operator, business advisor, financial advisor, buyer and seller.
That is why I built Business Wealth Advisory & The Freedom MasteryTM Framework.
I'm also the founder of Fox (found at FoxGuide.ai) which is the same strategic advisory I provide my private clients, but available 24/7. Fox filters your business ideas, challenges and opportunities through my Life-First methodology and Freedom Mastery framework. Both are built for owners who want to build a business around their life, not grow at all costs.
Life vision first.
Business alignment second.
Protection always.
If you are a founder ready to build by your own definition of success, you are exactly who I built this for.
