Your guide

Meet Andy Sistrunk.

Andy Sistrunk is the founder and lead coach at Escape Hatch Coaching, where he guides people through every stage of the business journey, starting a business in the hours around a day job, scaling one they’ve already built, selling for the next chapter, or setting it on autopilot to sail off into the sunset.

His whole philosophy comes down to stepping, not leaping: a clear, proven route out of the 9 to 5 rather than a reckless jump. A Florida native who grew up on the water, Andy is happiest on a boat with his wife, their son, and their dog, living the exact freedom he helps his clients build.

No hype and no guru act. Just a straight route he has walked himself.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much time does this really take?

Two to three focused hours a week. The whole thing is built to fit around a full time job and a family, not replace them.

I have been burned by courses before.

Fair. That is why the first week is built to give you a real win, and why it is backed by a money back guarantee. If you complete the entire course and all of the work from home and you still aren't satisfied, we will gladly refund your money.

Do I need a business idea already?

No. The first step is getting honest about where you are and choosing the one idea worth building. You bring the willingness, we help with the rest.

I am not very techy. Can I still do this?

Yes. Every step is plain language, with templates and checklists, so you are never staring at a blank page.

When do I get access?

Right away. You can start the first lesson the moment you join.

Can I do this with a full time job and kids?

That is exactly who it is built for. You build in the margins of the life you already have and let it compound.

Ready?
