Though the average small business is
operated by a solo founder, small businesses still provide a vast amount of
employment opportunities within the U.S. Over the past 25 years, small
businesses have generated nearly 13 million net new jobs.[1] For perspective, that’s about
two-thirds of the jobs added to the economy, according to Forbes.  For Kevin Dunlap he’s been
an entrepreneur for over 20 years. “I am a self-published author of 4 books and
a former podcast host of a show called Life's Little Lessons where I
interviewed other entrepreneurs from across the globe.


I became an entrepreneur in 1999 after being downsized while working for
Corporate America. This is when I discovered that there is no job security when
working for someone else. This led me to experience my first entrepreneurial
gig when I found interest in a network marketing company that sold air/water
filters and homeopathic products.


After the company was shut down I eventually ventured over into real
estate. I started as a real estate consultant and investor. This would
eventually lead to becoming a Realtor. I worked in real estate from 2002 until
2020. After releasing my 4th book called Launch! - The A to Z in Creating a
Successful Business I decided I wanted to work with other
entrepreneurs to help them make the transition from a full-time job to running
their own business. In 2022 I made the move from Las Vegas - after living there
for 18 years - to Raleigh, NC. At that time I went full-scale into the business
coaching arena.


I have created a training company called Optimal Performance Academy where
I have both online training programs as well as different levels of coaching. I
do have a weekly free training program where I train anyone who is interested
in running their own businesses which is found on Meetup under the name Small
Business Owners.


My first goal is to help 100 entrepreneurs become 6-figure wage earners
in their business through one or more of my coaching programs or online
training programs".  He joined me
this week to tell me more.
