More freedom and energy to focus on what lights you up

David Sherry – Founder Guide

I guide founders through their personal entrepreneurial journey. Supporting the transformation from day-to-day operator into a wealth-building owner.

✔️ Scale revenue while stressing less and working fewer hours.

✔️ Rediscover your thrill in business, like what got you started.

✔️ Protect the company you’ve built while opening space for your next chapter.

The Founder’s Trap: When you’ve got a “good” business business but your motivation to grow it is gone.

You’ve worked hard to build your business to this point. But now you’re caught between the demands of what the business needs from you, and what you ultimately want.

When you can’t see the path forward, it’s hard to move at all

  • The day-to-day demands keep pulling you in.

  • The big vision feels fuzzy.

  • The roadmap forward isn’t clear.

You’re not the same person you were when you started your business. Success creates has created more pressure and responsibility and it’s normal to want something more or different now.

Make the Transition to Greater Opportunity.

You’re no longer an operator, you’re the owner. And your company is energized because of it.

  1. Your business runs without you in the weeds.

  2. You have the time, space, and energy to focus on the work and life that light you up. 

  3. You’re growing your wealth while enjoying more freedom and flexibility.

I’m David Sherry

I’ve been where you are.

A few years after founding Death to Stock, I’d achieved success but hit the same wall. I wanted more growth and more freedom. But I didn’t yet know how to get there.

I was anxious, stressed, and starting to question if I was the right person to run my own company?

With the help of great coaches and mentors, I got clear on what I wanted, avoided costly mistakes, and transitioned out of the day-to-day while keeping ownership.

My business grew beyond me — and I had the energy to create the next chapter of my life.

That experience taught me this: your business should make you come alive, not burn you out. And it is absolutely possible to grow and evolve without being at the center of everything.
