About the Guest:(bio, personal links, resource links)

Jim Sombelko has been an entrepreneur since age eight, and he never looked back. He's the author of the Complete Guide to Building an 8-Figure Website, a partner in a sushi restaurant, the owner of multiple software companies and the founder of a thriving digital agency that helps people start and scale their businesses to fulfill their life's purpose.

Well, on the surface, Jim had it all. Multi-million dollar businesses, financial success, the career most people can only dream of. But one day, everything changed. Jim nearly missed his son's sixth birthday because he was too busy working. Yeah, standing there singing Happy Birthday over a half-eaten cake, Jim had a gut-wrenching realization. He built external success, but at the cost of his health, his marriage, and his relationship with his kids. That moment changed everything.

Jim made a bold decision to redefine real success, not just wealth in business, but true wealth in relationships, in health, and in purpose. Now, Jim's on a mission to help others find their breakthrough to empower people to follow their heart, trust their vision, and go after their dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem. Because as Jim believes, a rising tide lifts all boats.
