Do you feel deeply called to help others via self-employment but don't know how to get there?


Do you feel overwhelmed by all of the information out there?

Do you find yourself saying . . . 

​

What's REALLY the first step?
Maybe I'm just not meant for self-employment.

Maybe my business idea won't cut it.
Maybe I should stick with a 9-5 job.

If you answered yes, to ANY of these questions, this class is for you.

Hi, I'm Jen Shultz,

Founder of The Non-Nine-to-Five™

 

16 years ago, I was a full-time teacher in New York City. 

​

I was working 12 hour days, unable to sleep, and partying on the weekends to forget about the work week.

 

While I hid it well on the outside, on the inside I was flooded with self-doubt and my self-esteem was at an all time low.​

​

Question after Question circled my mind:

 

What is wrong with me?!

Why does everything feeling so hard?!

Why can't I just get it together?!​​​​​​​

Yet, I started to have a tiny sense:

​

Maybe this is just not the path I'm meant for . . . 
 

Maybe being an employee is just not designed for me . . . 
 

Maybe I can bring my talents to others in a unique way . . . ​
 

I was petrified to follow this tiny sense I had but the fear of staying in this loop far outweighed the fear of the unknown.

​

​On a Monday morning, I gave my two weeks notice and

​​90 days later, I started my first business, Teacher on the Go!

 

In 2013 I founded The Non-Nine-to-Five™ with a mission to ​help others:

​

  • Gain Clarity on their Non-Nine-to-Five business

  • Pursue their Non-Nine-to-Five business

  • Quit their 9-5 job and go full-time in their business.

 

 

 

What I have learned over these last 16 years is that the toughest part of stepping into self-employment is the HOW.

 

It is exactly where I have seen hundreds of people stop.

 

The vision IS there and​ you can see yourself in the business . . . 

​

Coaching people to make better lifestyle choices
Helping people plan travel experiences they will never forget
Advocating for patients as they navigate the healthcare system
Planning + Producing Events

Helping people organize their homes so they can finally exhale.

Supporting people with their mental health
Capturing people, brands, and stories through photography

etc. etc. etc.

​

BUT, actually getting there and turning what YOU know, what YOU love, and what YOU'RE good at into successful self-employment likely feels far away.

​

Note: I don't advocate to up and quit your job. I do advocate for a "both/and" approach — building your business while continuing to work your job until you're ready to make the transition.

This is why I designed The Non-Nine-to-Five Process™

7 Steps to Create Successful Self-Employment

​

During this 90 Minute Live Virtual Masterclass we will be focusing on

Step #2 — Building the Bridge to Successful Self-Employment

Only 25 seats available for this intimate class experience

​

​

Here's what will be happening in class​​:

​

  • You'll identify what your biggest challenges or fears are right now in your Non-Nine-to-Five journey and how to begin taking steps to work through them.

​

  • You'll start mapping out YOUR bridge. I'll walk you through an exercise to determine what needs to happen between where you are right now and the vision you have so you have a clear next step that makes sense for YOU.

​

  • You’ll look at what may be influencing the way you’re approaching your bridge to successful self-employment. Maybe you feel like you need to have “all your ducks in a row,” maybe you’re comparing yourself to others, maybe you believe you need an LLC, website, business cards, or social media in place before you can make any forward movement.

​

  • You'll see what Building the Bridge to Successful Self-Employment looks like in real life. I'll share examples from the actual work members of The Non-Nine-to-Five™ community are doing to build their bridges.​​​

​

  • You will be joined by 24 other like minded unique individuals who know they are meant to create successful self-employment.
     

  • We will have dedicated time for Q+A to get your questions answered.
     

  • You'll receive life-time access to both the video and audio recordings of the Masterclass so you can revisit the material at any time.

​

  • You'll receive a $100 voucher toward one of The Non-Nine-to-Five™ Programs.​​​​
