Let me be honest with you—building a business while working a full-time job isn’t easy. But neither is waking up every day to build someone else’s dream while yours collects dust.
I created The 5–9 Blueprint because too many aspiring entrepreneurs were stuck in the same cycle: hating their 9–5, daydreaming at their desk, but feeling like they couldn’t make a move because they “needed the money.”
That was Monique.
When we first connected, she was working a demanding job, coming home exhausted, and feeling like she’d never have the time, energy, or money to start the courier business she dreamed of. She didn’t have savings. She didn’t have support. But what she did have was the willingness to work for her freedom—even if that meant working from 5–9 to get there.
We built her business in the evenings, one task at a time. In the 5–9 window, we mapped out her services, registered her LLC, started marketing her brand locally, and created a pricing structure that made sense. And here’s the part most people don’t realize: I also showed her how to make money right now—by leveraging part-time, on-demand courier gigs and subcontracting to start earning while she was still building.
That money helped her fund her business without dipping into her paycheck. She reinvested it back into marketing, fuel, and tools she needed and that’s when the momentum started.
She was stacking contracts before she ever gave her two weeks’ notice.
Why This Blueprint Works
I’m not one to sell pipe dreams. You’re not going to go viral overnight or magically hit six figures in your first month. But you can build a real, profitable business from 5–9 p.m.—if you have the right mindset and structure.
Let’s break it down.
The Mindset: Stop Waiting for “Perfect”
If you’re waiting to feel ready, to have more time, or for someone to come save you, you’ll be stuck forever. What separates successful 5–9 entrepreneurs from dreamers is this: they start with what they have.
You don’t need a business degree. You don’t need $10K in the bank. You need a clear reason why you want to do this and a willingness to commit just a few hours a night to making it real.
The Structure: Small Wins After Hours
In my workshop, I walk you through what to do each evening to move your business forward—without feeling overwhelmed. It’s not about doing everything in one night. It’s about doing one thing each night.
Here’s an example of a weekly 5–9 plan we used with Monique:
- Monday: Update social media and research competitors
- Tuesday: Register business + EIN (we did it together!)
- Wednesday: Reach out to 3 potential local clients
- Thursday: Do a paid on-demand gig for fast cash
- Friday: Review wins and plan for next week
Each small win added up to something big. And the beauty of this method? You’re building confidence and cash flow at the same time.
Ways to Fund Your Business While You Build
This is the part no one talks about enough.
When you’re bootstrapping, cash is king. That’s why I teach multiple ways to earn right now while you build—including:
- Same-day local delivery platforms
- Subcontracting for other couriers
- Part-time weekend gigs in your niche
- Offering admin services for courier companies (yes, that’s a thing)
It’s not about hustle culture. It’s about strategy.
I believe in building a business with your eyes wide open. The 5–9 Blueprint doesn’t just give you a vision—it gives you a path. And if you’re anything like Monique, you’ll look up one day and realize your business is no longer your side hustle; it’s your exit strategy.
Final Word: This Isn’t Forever, It’s the Bridge to Freedom
Let’s be clear: the 5–9 life isn’t your forever plan. It’s the bridge to the life you want. But you’ve got to be willing to walk it.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready to stop Googling your dreams while everyone else lives theirs—then you already know what time it is.
