Welcome! We are business owners, just like you.

Most business owners spend their careers grinding—hoping one day the business will finally work without them.
Jerry Kezhaya broke $1 million in revenue back in 1992 with The Auto Shop in Plano, Texas—in an industry where the average repair shop struggles to hit $350,000 a year.
That alone would make him worth listening to.
But that was just the beginning.
Together, Jerry and his wife, Dr. Laura Shwaluk, went on to build—not one—but six highly profitable businesses across multiple industries:
The Auto Shop — a multi-million-dollar operation in a low-margin industry
Express Exterior Car Wash — a multi-million-dollar business they owned and operated
NTC Health & Fitness — a 7-figure chiropractic practice
A retail shopping center they purchased at 11% occupancy and grew to 100% full
Texas Wine Posse — what Jerry calls “a hobby that got out of control,” now bottling their own wine
Business Builders Mentor & Mastermind — their newest venture, which scaled to six figures in under two years
They also paid cash for a 154.5-acre Texas ranch—their weekend escape from the business world they’ve mastered.
But here’s what matters most to serious business owners:
They didn’t just build wealth.
They built freedom.
Jerry and Laura have taken four to five months off every year—while their businesses continued to run, grow, and produce.
Doing that with one business is rare.
Doing it with six is a blueprint.
That’s why business owners who want more than revenue—
who want time, leverage, and legacy—pay close attention to everything Jerry and Laura teach.
Because success is common.
Freedom is not.

That belief is what carried me through the darkest season of my life.
A season where I owed over $5 million.
A season where I wrote checks to the bank for $45,000 every single month—and that didn’t include property taxes, utilities, payroll, child support, or the thousand other obligations that never stop.
There were no days off.
No margin for error.
No room to get sick.
I wasn’t building freedom—I was trapped inside my own success.
And yes… I know the realities most people won’t admit out loud:
I know what it’s like to have more month than money
I know the pressure of lenders who don’t care how hard you’re working
I know what it feels like to disappoint your children
I know the quiet shame of wanting things you simply can’t afford
I know the cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul
I know what money stress does to a marriage
I know arguments that end in silence
I know divorce
And I know the lessons that only pain can teach
But there’s one thing I never did.
I never filed for bankruptcy.
Instead, I rebuilt—deliberately, patiently, and differently.
My wife my best friend.
We’ve been together since 1999, and our relationship gets stronger every year.
I’ve lived in the same home for 30 years— Paid off more than 20 years ago.
I drove the same vehicle for 17 years before upgrading.
My wife drove hers for 11 years.
Now, when we upgrade, it’s always paid in full.
We travel the world.
Every property we own is debt-free.
No bankruptcy. No shortcuts. No luck.
Just the right decisions made consistently over time.
Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:
Not everyone makes it out.
But it is possible.
And if I can do it—so can you.
The question is simple:
Would you like help from someone who has actually lived it…
and built real freedom on the other side?
We have a proven path.
And we’re willing to show you—step by step—how to do it too.

My dear husband.
