Just over 4 years ago I found Shawn through social media. I was working a full time job and my own business was barely doing $25k a year. Fast forward to today and I’m now doing $200k a year, working entirely for me and have added 3 team members.

I started my business as a side hustle and grew it to the point where I became overwhelmed. It was basically just another job. I knew I needed to scale it for it to be more manageable and profitable but had no idea how.

I joined AO in October of 2019. Ive learned a lot about myself and learned about what I want to do in business because of this tribe. Suffering with depression and not feeling at my best, the tribe helped me refocus and get myself together to become the best entrepreneur.

AO is your GPS For Business Success
AO's Mentors and Coaches have all built 7 & 8 figure businesses. Their experience serves as a GPS for you to build your future business.
Entrepreneurs with a mentor are 5X more likely to start their business
87% of entrepreneurs with a mentor are still in business after one year vs 75% without a mentor
Statistics Prove
Entrepreneurs with Mentors succeed at a much higher rate than those without. But why?
It is because most people are not taught at an early age how to prepare for the difficult challenges of business ownership. Managing all the different facets of business and the roller coaster of emotions of the entrepreneur life is not something that can be learned by simply reading a book or watching a movie. It takes ongoing personal relationships. Successful mentorship gives entrepreneurs a place to learn how to navigate the journey while minimizing mistakes that cost time and money.

AO was founded to help entrepreneurs struggle less and succeed more. Each AO Mentor donates their time to help our members. The company was founded due to the lack of experienced mentorship available to startup entrepreneurs and the need not only for diversity of Mentors but on demand education to meet the needs of the fast paced entrepreneurial lifestyle.
