Mike RumanAre you interested in starting your own business, but aren’t sure how to do so when you have a corporate job, spouse, and kids? In this episode, we’ll talk with an entrepreneur who has done just that.


Mike Ruman
is a full-time entrepreneur, business coach, husband, stay-at-home dad, and follower of Jesus Christ. He’s the founder of Military Marketing, Parenting Academy, and he’s built over 100+ websites (many of them are listed below). Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, he worked in the corporate world as a Director of Internet Marketing and as a Chief Marketing Officer. (He was my boss when I interned at David C. Cook in 2012!)

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to start your own small business – even when you have a spouse, kids, and a full schedule.
  • How to know when the time is right to make the “corporate leap.”
  • A few essential elements to have in place before you leave your 9-to-5 job.
  • How Mike teaches his kids entrepreneurship (and makes it fun for them).
