The Poop Scoop Coach: Your Partner in Personal Growth and Success.

Tom Miller was 33 years old, and if you asked him about his work experiences, he would tell you they were filled with highs and lows, but mostly, lows. Tom had a knack for productivity—he could get done in a day what took others an entire week. He wasn’t just good at his job; he was exceptional. But instead of being celebrated for his efficiency, he became the unspoken standard by which others were judged, and that’s when things began to unravel.

One day, after months of staying late, taking on extra projects, and consistently outperforming his peers, Tom was called into his boss’s office. He was finally going to get the recognition he deserved. “Tom, we’ve been really impressed with your work ethic,” his manager said with a smile. “We think you deserve a raise.”

Tom was elated. His hard work had finally paid off, right? Well, not exactly. The raise was a measly $2.50 more an hour, a small token for the mountains of overtime he’d put in. But Tom, being the optimist he was, accepted it. It was a win, right?

Fast forward one week, and the winds of corporate fate blew another direction. Jake, a colleague who had been with the company for years, was suddenly fired. Tom felt a pang of empathy for Jake, but then it dawned on him—he was next. Not in the way he feared, but in the way that left him with more responsibility. With Jake gone, Tom was expected to pick up the slack—double the work, with only a paltry $2.50 raise to show for it. He didn’t get a title upgrade, no additional benefits, just more stress. And in the corporate world, that was par for the course.

The company was thrilled, though. Productivity soared, and they were reaping the benefits of Tom’s tireless efforts. They didn’t care that Tom was overworked and burnt out. They didn’t care that his personal life was slipping away, or that he was becoming more unhappy and unappreciated.

 As long as the numbers were up, that’s all that mattered.

But Tom was smart. He realized that, while the company was profiting off his blood, sweat, and tears, he wasn’t getting what he deserved. And so, after months of sleepless nights, grinding away in a system that only saw him as a cog in the machine, Tom made a choice: he would stop being used.

Tom dug deep. He researched, devoured books on entrepreneurship, and networked with professionals at round tables. He realized he didn’t need to be another overworked employee; he could build his own empire. That’s when he decided to try something no one had expected—he started four businesses in one year. He wasn’t just testing the waters—he was diving in headfirst.

His business was thriving, and it was enough to give him a new life—the kind of life where he could choose his hours, choose his path, and still earn a substantial income.

Tom’s business became a full-fledged success, generating more than $80,000 a year, all while working just 17 hours a week. He was living the dream—a lifestyle of financial freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment. By this point, he was only working three days a week and taking off entire weeks for holidays. He worked a total of about 142 hours a month, which, for him, felt like a vacation compared to the grind he once endured.

But Tom didn’t stop there. He now felt a deep sense of responsibility to pay it forward. He wanted to share his success with others, to show people that they didn’t have to be stuck in the same cycle of overwork and underappreciation. 

Tom now enjoys teaching like-minded individuals how to operate one of the top 10 service businesses in the growing pet industry. Tom saw the untapped potential, and he knew this was his chance to not just live the dream, but to help others live it too.
