Jae Hugh
Business CoachLife wasn’t meant to be lived in a box.
Hey, I’m Jae! My mission is to help coaches, freelancers, and entrepreneurs like you unleash their potential and achieve extraordinary success.
My Story
Growing up in Chicago, I always felt that life wasn’t meant to be lived in a box. This realization changed everything for me. I spent years trying to find myself and understand why working for someone else never seemed to fit. From exploring manifestation to traditional religion, I was on a relentless quest for answers that always seemed just out of reach.
Starting my first business was a disaster. I had no idea what I was doing, but it sparked a passion I had never felt before—not in sports, not in making music, nowhere. This passion fueled my journey through 15+ years of hard lessons and countless “failed” businesses. But these weren’t failures; they were steps in my learning process, sharpening me to become the coach I am today.
I’ve faced just about every challenge you can imagine. From not understanding how to get clients and the complexities of lead generation and email marketing, to struggling with insufficient funds for my business needs—discovering business credit and funding was a game-changer. Learning when and how to hire effectively was another significant hurdle. Each challenge taught me invaluable lessons that I now pass on to my clients.
The development of the F.I.R.E. Method was a breakthrough. It all began with understanding the three pillars of creating generational wealth: Business, Investments, and Life Insurance, with the common denominator being life insurance. This understanding came from over 15 years of study, life experiences, and connecting with the right people.
The F.I.R.E. Method is built on four key components:
- Foundations: Setting up a business properly and understanding the exit strategy.
- Investments: Identifying quality assets and understanding what investments truly are.
- Residuals: Creating streams of passive income that require minimal effort.
- Estate: Planning to ensure your wealth lasts and can be passed on to future generations.
By putting these elements into a system, I created a roadmap for building lasting wealth and achieving personal and professional freedom. Now, I am ready to be your coach, to guide you through the minefield of business development, and to help you grow beyond what you ever thought possible.
Are you ready to ignite the passion within you and break free from the box? Join me on this journey, and let’s create a legacy together.
My Values & Beliefs
Life insurance should be the first step
Life insurance sets you up for financial stability, allowing you to borrow money without penalties and providing a strong foundation for wealth building.
Buying a business or franchise
The first move on the entrepreneurial path should be acquiring a business or franchise. This jumpstarts your journey with an established model, reducing initial risks and providing a clearer path to success.
Debt is good
When managed correctly, debt can be a powerful tool. The tax implications and leverage it provides can accelerate growth and expand opportunities.
Everyone needs a personal brand
In today’s world, a personal brand is essential. It sets you apart, builds trust, and opens doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain closed.
Viable business before passion projects
Passion projects are rewarding, but they require funding. A viable business ensures you have the resources to pursue your passions without financial strain.
These beliefs form the core of my coaching philosophy, guiding you to build a strong, sustainable foundation for success.
