About Steve

$3.25 an hour.
That’s what I made taping boxes at the Revere Mills Towel Factory.

I ended up there because I didn’t get the job as a dishwasher at a local restaurant. That should tell you where my life was at.

 

MORE ABOUT ME

You Know There Is More.

 

 You’re probably here because something inside you knows there’s more to life than just getting through the days. Not that your life is bad — it’s just not it. You’ve handled your responsibilities, done what was expected, and still feel that quiet pull for more freedom, more meaning, more you. That feeling isn’t restlessness or dissatisfaction — it’s awareness. And if you’re listening to it, you’re in the right place.

Freedom—is about letting go of what’s been holding you back—old habits, expectations, and commitments that quietly drain you. It’s learning to take control of your time instead of constantly reacting to everyone else’s priorities. Real freedom is building a life that feels like yours, where your days are shaped by what matters most to you, not by pressure, guilt, or default paths.

Wealth is about more than money—it’s about stability, options, and not living with constant financial pressure in the background. It’s earning in a way that supports your life instead of owning it, and making decisions from clarity rather than fear. Real wealth gives you breathing room, confidence, and the ability to choose long-term fulfillment over short-term stress.

Happiness isn’t about being positive all the time or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about feeling at peace with who you are and how you’re living. It’s trusting yourself, enjoying the life you’re building, and not constantly chasing the next milestone to feel okay. Real happiness shows up when your life is aligned—when what you do each day actually matches what matters to you.

LET'S TALK RESULTS

My biggest challenge was overthinking things and worrying a lot!!

 
What has changed after working with Steve is my mindset.  I still worry but a ton less.  I have used what Steve has 
Taught me to get it out of my head and do it and not procrainate.  
 
I would recommend someone to Steve who is a business owner or starting a business.  Someone who says they can't or are
Nervous.  Steve has been there and worked though it!!  I have known Steve for over 10 years and have taken many of his classes and been in the Zoom calls..  Highly recommend Steve EK

Before working with Steve, I knew I wanted to build a new business and I had a clear vision.

At the same time, I felt that most business programs focused only on strategy and results, while I knew I still had inner work to do. I didn’t want success at the expense of my health, my family, or my life as a whole. I was looking for a coach who truly saw the whole picture—business, mindset, and life—and that was my biggest challenge.

What sets Steve apart is his genuine engagement and his holistic perspective. He is not a “typical” business coach. He truly cares, invests his time and energy, and wants real progress and development for his clients. He is both inspiring and honest—supportive, but also clear and direct about what you need to hear.

Entrepreneurs and Business Owners

 

The fastest way to grow your business is to elevate your life. Your business is nothing more than a reflection and extension of who you are right now. That’s why so many owners find themselves stuck in the same cycles year after year—it’s rarely a lack of knowledge or experience holding them back. It’s fear, doubt, and low confidence quietly showing up in decisions, leadership, pricing, and risk-taking. And it works both ways. When you feel strong, focused, and clear, your business responds. You’ve probably noticed that after returning from a high-energy conference—you feel powerful, decisive, unstoppable—and your business gets a lift. But when that energy fades, so does the momentum. Why? Because the internal shift didn’t last. That’s exactly why joining the Life by Design Community matters. It’s designed to build real confidence, eliminate the doubt, and create lasting internal growth—so your business can finally grow the way you want it to.
