Sail
Run a hands off business. Live an unanchored life.
You didn't build your business to become its most overworked employee. If taking a two week vacation feels like an operational crisis, or if you can't step away from daily operations without revenue stalling, you don't truly own a business. Your business owns you. True freedom isn't just about stepping back; it's about building a self sustaining asset that runs smoothly, predictably, and profitably, whether you're at your desk or at sea.
The Sail phase
Untether from the day to day.
At Escape Hatch Coaching, the Sail phase is designed to untether you from the day to day grind. We help you transform your company into an independently functioning enterprise. Through strategic leadership coaching, key team placement, and seamless back office solutions, we give you the ultimate gift: total location and time independence.
So you can finally escape to the life you dream of.

Testimonials
Don't just take our word for it.
Andy makes growing a business feel simple and manageable. He helped me stop going in circles about my pricing, look at the actual numbers, and build a business around what I need to earn and the life I want to live. I love that he’s not just focused on business success, he cares about creating a life you actually enjoy.

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.
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.
