013: Developing Your Child’s Character through Golf or Tennis with Coach Paul Maskill

Sitting in a cubicle for 12 hours a day while building someone else’s business, was not Paul’s idea of a living the dream. So, he quit! What Paul went on to do for himself and his community is everything I would consider qualifies as Living a Life of Abundance. You could do what Paul has done. And he's willing to show you how.[spp-tweet tweet="Why did I listen to everyone else and not question anyone?"]Graduating from the University of Michigan with a Finance degree in hand, Paul set out to climb the Corporate Ladder in Chicago all the way to the top. Not long into his career in Corporate America, the buzz of a finance job in the big city lost its luster and Paul was looking for more. Sitting in a cubicle for 10-12 hours a day while staring at spreadsheets and building someone else’s business, was not Paul’s idea of a living the dream. So, he quit! After taking two months to travel around South America, Paul decided to relocate to Raleigh, NC and start a career that was rewarding…after all, you only live once. In 2011, Paul invested in his first TGA franchise, combining his business experience with passion for sports. TGA makes golf and tennis more accessible to students ages 3-15 through on-campus afterschool programs, summer camps, parent/child events and more. Over the next 4.5 years, Paul grew his business to four franchises, impacting 1,000’s of kids each year. At the end of 2015, Paul was ready to make his next move. He sold his four franchises for over 6x his initial investment and 3x his net profit. Soon after, Paul was hired by the franchisor to be in charge of Business Development. Based on his business experience and ability to grow a business to over 40 employees and $400k in revenue in 4 years, Paul now works with current franchise owners to help build their business into an organization with people, processes and systems in place so that the business can thrive without relying on the owner (working ON versus working IN their business). He also works with all prospective franchise owners on putting together their business plan while evaluating all of the moving parts of the business and their geographic area.Get in on the conversation in our&nbsp;Men of Abundance CommunityYou can Time Travel...&nbsp;well kinda.
