Are You an Entrepreneur or a Wantrepreneur?
Real-world strategy from someone who's started 100+ businesses—not textbook theory from consultants who've never built anything.
The $1,000 investment that could save you everything
The difference isn't talent or luck—it's action. Which side are you on?

The Eternal Planner
"I'll start... someday."
Ready to stop planning and start doing?
The first step to becoming an entrepreneur is making a decision. The second step? Getting the right guidance.
Most businesses fail. These are the statistics that nobody wants to talk about—but you need to know.
One in five businesses close within their first year
Half of all startups don't make it past five years
Only 35% of businesses survive a full decade
So the question is...
With odds like these, why would you try to figure it out alone?
When you can learn from someone who's been there—over 100 times.

They try to figure it out alone. They learn from theory instead of experience. They get advice from people who've never built a business.
Don't be one of them. Learn from someone who's done it over 100 times.
"Most consultants teach theory. And theory does not pay the bills."
My name is Tory R. Zweigle, and I am a serial entrepreneur. For the last five decades, I have done nothing but eat, breathe, and sleep business. I started at age 11, beginning a lifelong journey of ideas and startups.
Most people will never start a new business. And those who do usually only build one. Some will grow it into a very successful company, or expand into multiple locations. Along that path of owner–operator, you get hands-on training in people, finance, rules, regulations, legal issues, ergonomics, human nature, and hopefully some common sense.
You learn a lot from a single business venture. If you're lucky enough to build two successful businesses, then you're on a path of hard work and intentional growth. Being self-employed means you learn every day, every month, and every year. Those lessons stay with you forever—and sometimes you even pass them along to others who cross your path in business and in life.
I have been in thousands of situations across the many businesses I've run. For every business I start, it's always a new journey, with new insights at new times in new places. I still learn every day.
There are not many people on this planet who have started over 100 businesses. And I do not recommend it to anyone. Even though entrepreneurship can build great wealth, it comes with a price.
Family is the key to life. If you can build both—a good business and a good family life—you are wealthy beyond dreams.
I've had so many startups that I can see what others do not. Your business is in a fishbowl to me. I can see all around it while you're inside the bowl trying to keep things going. I see the ups, the downs, the patterns, the blind spots, the opportunities, and the dangers.
Most business consultants have never started a business before starting their consulting career. How do you give advice on something you've never done? Just like professors teaching business all over the world—they've likely never started a business. Most consultants teach theory. And theory does not pay the bills.

Most businesses fail within the first five years. Solid advice from someone seasoned can help you avoid the biggest potholes before you spend your savings.
My goal is to help people understand whether they are true entrepreneurs—or wantrepreneurs.

Real experience vs. theory
While millions start businesses every year, only a select few have launched 100+ ventures over 46+ years.
Theory doesn't pay the bills. Real-world experience does.
Real-world business lessons from 46 years in the trenches. No theory—just what actually works.
After starting over 100 businesses, I've learned to spot the difference in the first five minutes. Here's what separates those who build empires from those who just dream about them.
Most consultants teach theory because they've never built anything. After 46 years and 100+ businesses, I've learned that real business wisdom comes from scars, not textbooks.
Most business owners are trapped. They've built a job, not a business. After decades of trial and error, I've figured out how to build businesses that run without me. Here's the blueprint.
The gap between where you are and where you want to be is action. Take the first step today and turn your vision into reality.
