From Misery to Movement to Mission to Mastery: Manifesting the Business and Life You Love
Are You Ready to Break Free from the Rut and Achieve Your Dreams?
If you’re stuck in a cycle, feeling like you’re just going through the motions on the treadmill of life, it might be time to ZAGG. It’s time to break free from fear, limiting beliefs, and the uncertainty that’s holding you back. It’s time to seize the opportunities that are waiting for you.
Hi, I’m Doug Howorko, the founder of ZAGGTIME Lifestyle Design. I help busy professional men over 50 who are stuck in an unfulfilling, insecure job—just over broke—living paycheck to paycheck, despite earning six figures. You might be one of the 47% of households haunted by the “30-day monster,” where there’s always more month left at the end of the money.
Although you’ve worked hard to provide for your family, you’re living with a dark secret: You can’t come up with $400 in an emergency without borrowing or using credit. I know how this feels because I was once the model for “the secret shame of the middle class.” For me, it was two major business failures in a row—one in warehouse condo real estate development and the other in a software development company.
I’ve felt the pain, humiliation, and frustration. I’ve known the fear that comes with lack—missing out on vacations, giving up activities like golf, and even delaying home and car repairs just to cover the mortgage, food, and kids’ activities. It was the most horrible feeling I’ve ever experienced.
My Journey to Financial and Time Freedom
I didn’t want to start over at my age—only to end up in the same dead-end situation that would stifle my fulfillment and limit my income. But I knew I needed a way out. I needed a solution that would allow me to earn more while doing what I love—unleashing my gifts, talents, passions, and skills to the world. So, I decided to explore entrepreneurship.
I took one more chance on myself and invested in building a side hustle business that aligned with my gifts and passions. I found the right mentors—successful entrepreneurs who had launched, scaled, and grown their own online businesses. They showed me the path to success in eCommerce and affiliate marketing, providing the training, tools, and community support I needed to expedite my success and create the income, lifestyle, and freedom I desired.
How Developing an Online Business Was My Solution to Freedom
Although my main goal was financial freedom, I also sought time freedom. As a middle-aged man, I wanted more time with my family doing what I loved. I needed an opportunity that would allow me to build my business alongside my job, with the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world.
Time is our most precious resource, and how we choose to spend it defines our quality of life. When we’re trapped in rigid schedules, working endless hours toward someone else’s vision, we can easily become drained and disenchanted with our lives. I realized that to regain control over my time, I needed to build a business model that offered flexibility and autonomy.
Transitioning to an online business was key to unlocking this freedom. The digital landscape offers tools and platforms that enable you to automate processes, reach a global audience, and operate on your own terms. Unlike traditional businesses, an online business can be managed from anywhere at any time. This flexibility empowers you to design a lifestyle that aligns with your personal values and priorities.
No longer bound by time constraints, you can prioritize what’s truly important—whether it’s spending a sunny afternoon with your family or dedicating uninterrupted time to your creative projects or favorite hobbies. This freedom not only enhances productivity but also enriches your personal life.
Call to Action: Are You Ready to Transform Your Life?
If you’re over 50, earning a six-figure income, but still need to generate more income to experience more life, passion, and purpose, I want to help you explore the opportunity of starting your own side hustle business alongside your job.
Building a successful business can be overwhelming, and it takes the right skills, strategies, and support. That’s why I’m forming a men-only private support network for entrepreneurs, called MIDLIFE MAVERICKS – Brotherhood of Business Builders. This community is designed to help men move from Misery to Motion to Mission to Mastery and, ultimately, to Manifest the business and life you love in the digital economy.
Most men spend their lives putting their family’s needs before their own, helping them succeed. And you should be proud of that. But now, over 50, it’s your time. It’s time to be a little selfish—or as I call it, SELF-FULL. It’s time to focus on YOU and launch the best version of yourself, to achieve those long-forgotten dreams and goals, and to live life to your fullest potential.
Join the MIDLIFE MAVERICKS Brotherhood and Reclaim Your Freedom
If you’re ready to transform your life and be part of a team of professional men who understand your entrepreneurial aspirations, schedule a life-changing conversation with me. I’ll help assess if this group is a good fit for you and share how the Freedom Entrepreneur Formula can help you build a rock-solid foundation to launch, scale, and grow an online business you love.
Building an Online Business: The Key to Unlocking Your Freedom
An online business offers the flexibility to operate on your own terms. The digital world provides tools and platforms that allow you to automate processes, reach a global audience, and build a business from anywhere. Unlike traditional businesses, an online business can be run at any time and from any location, enabling you to prioritize what truly matters in your life—whether that’s family, personal projects, or travel.
If you’re dreaming of more time freedom, financial freedom, and geographic freedom, consider how an online business can offer those possibilities. It’s not just about financial success—it’s about designing your life on your own terms.
A Quick Disclaimer
While the potential for success is real, not every opportunity will deliver on its promises. The online world is full of big claims and quick-fix solutions. It’s crucial to do your research, ask questions, and seek advice from trusted mentors. Making informed decisions is key to building something sustainable and rewarding.
