After achieving great financial success for his employer Jessen was sadly told in 2009 that his ‘his services were no longer required!’ Armed with a vow of never working for anyone again and a toolbox of life lessons, Jessen set up his own private healthcare business 5 months later and managed to quadruple it’s income in 2 short years! He then systemised the business; which allowed him to step away without reducing his income to lead a financially free life from the age of 31 & a millionaire 18 months later.Jessen now spends his time with his family and training entrepreneurs all over the world on how to start, grow and expand their businesses whilst being able to work less on it or even step away COMPLETELY!
