After practicing law for five miserable years as a corporate attorney, I left the law in 2016 to start my own health coaching business.

Speaker:

Even though health coaching wasn't really the right fit for me, it helped me to bridge the gap between being an out-of-touch lawyer with what you really need to

Speaker:

Speaker:

In 2017, I shut down that health coaching business and opened up the doors to Sam Vander Wielen LLC, the business that you see today, and started helping

Speaker:

legit businesses.

Speaker:

There is definitely no turning back now because over the past five years I've built a seven-figure business with thousands and thousands of happy customers

Speaker:

But what's most important to me is that I've built a life around the values that mean the most to me - time, flexibility, and freedom.

Speaker:

Whether it's the brain surgery I had shortly after I started my business or my dad's terminal leukemia diagnosis recently, I've truly experienced how much
