Episode 40 is a short, calm, but serious wake up call for ambitious professionals building a business while working a 9 to 5.

This one is recorded during a snowstorm, and that is the whole point. Snow days, PTO, and unexpected time off expose something most people do not want to admit. A lot of people say “if only I had the time” but when time shows up, they still do not move. In this episode I break down why that happens, how to stop lying to yourself about time, and how to use any day off as fuel for real progress without needing the whole day. 

You will hear me walk through the real pattern: the week drains you, the weekend gets eaten by responsibilities, and then you tell yourself there is not enough time to build. My push is simple. Do a real time audit. Find the hours you actually have. Then protect them. Block the time and assign it to a specific task, not “work on my business.” The more specific you are, the more likely you are to follow through, because your mind can actually see what you are about to do. That clarity turns “someday” into execution. 

I also share a personal story from the pandemic that humbled me. I used to blame noise, roommates, and circumstances. Then I got exactly what I claimed I needed: peace, quiet, and multiple days alone. And I still wasted it. That moment forced the truth: I did not need more time. I needed honesty, structure, and follow through. If you have ever blamed your schedule, your job, or your environment, this episode will hit home. 

To close, I transition into a practical marketing note for business owners: a simple way to think about SEO without getting overwhelmed. I explain why your Google Business Profile matters, why your homepage is the real “home base,” and why clean beats chaotic when you are trying to show up in search. If you are paying someone to build your site, I also tell you what to do before you hire: ask better questions, interview multiple people, and do not get intimidated by the noise. 

If you are building your dream in between meetings, after work, and before the sun rises, this is your reminder: do not wait for a perfect schedule. Use what you have, block it, make it specific, and respect the time the way you want your future business to respect you.

Most ambitious professionals do not have an information problem. You have a momentum problem.

In this episode, I break down why the modern world is built to sedate you, why “after work” is the worst time to attempt a cold start on your business, and how to start building momentum while you are still working, without crossing ethical lines or disrespecting your employer.

You will also get a high level run through of my two core frameworks:
S.C.O.P.E. for leveraging your 9 to 5 as training
R.E.S.E.T. for getting the work done in your 5 to 9, even when life gets loud

Then I shift into strategist mode and give a practical, plain language overview of SEO and how to rank locally using your Google Business Profile.

If you are building a business while working a job, this is the mindset shift and the structure you have been missing.

Most people do not quit on day one. They fade mid-week.

In this episode, I break down the Mid Week Fade, that moment where you start the week confident, then by Tuesday or Wednesday you stop building after work and your goals start feeling far away again.

This is for ambitious professionals and entrepreneurial employees trying to build a real business with real responsibilities. The problem is not your desire. The problem is your week is not protected. I walk you through a simple structure that stops the fade, plus a marketing strategist breakdown on what I’m seeing right now in ads, sales calls, and why honesty matters more than ever.

If this hit you, comment “FADE” so I know you’re locked in.

Welcome to the new era of Everything Entrepreneurship.

A lot of people call something a podcast because they bought a mic and hit record. That is not what I’m building here.

This is the home for ambitious professionals who are building their dreams while still handling real life. Work pressure. Bills. Responsibilities. Big goals that still matter.

In this episode, I’m setting the tone for what this show is becoming. More real. More structured. More useful. We’re talking about the new feel and flow, why most “make money online” content is built to confuse you, and how to start focusing on inputs that actually move your life forward.

Your 9 to 5 is not a trap, it is training. Let’s use it like it.

If you’re new here, subscribe. If you’re back, lock in. This is different now.

Most people fail their goals not because they lack discipline or ambition, but because the way goals are taught doesn’t survive real life.

In this episode of Everything Entrepreneurship, Kyle Jerome Carter breaks down why traditional goal-setting is quietly sabotaging ambitious professionals, entrepreneurial employees, and high performers heading into 2026.

If you’ve ever set “realistic” goals…
If you’ve ever stayed consistent but still felt stuck…
If you’ve ever done everything “right” and wondered why progress didn’t compound…

This episode will change how you think about goals forever.

You’ll learn:
Why “realistic goals” cap your growth instead of protecting you
How goals become a trap when life, work, and responsibility collide
The difference between chasing outcomes and building systems that survive chaos
What to focus on instead of goals if you want momentum that lasts
How to approach 2026 with clarity, structure, and execution that doesn’t collapse

This isn’t motivation.
This is about building a framework for progress that works when life gets busy, unpredictable, and demanding.

If you’re an ambitious employee, working professional, or entrepreneur still balancing a 9-5 while building something of your own, this episode was made for you.

🎧 Watch now and rethink how you approach success in 2026.

Most people think their goals fell apart in 2025 because they “ran out of time.” The truth is far deeper and far more fixable.

If you’re an ambitious professional, a working entrepreneur, or someone who tries to build your dreams between meetings and after work, this episode is for you.

If you feel like you’re always running out of time, but still not getting closer to your goals, this episode will change everything.

In today’s video, I break down the 4 keys entrepreneurs use to control, stretch, and maximize time, even when life is busy, unpredictable, and demanding.
Because the truth is this:

Most people don’t fail because they’re unmotivated.
They fail because they never learned how to see time the way entrepreneurs do.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

🔑 Why time feels shorter for some people and longer for others
🔑 How to multiply your available time without waking up earlier
🔑 The “ownership shift” that instantly changes how you operate
🔑 How to turn small pockets of time into meaningful progress

Whether you're a working professional, aspiring entrepreneur, or already building something on the side, these 4 steps will show you how to finally take control of your days… instead of letting your days control you.

The rules of hiring have changed. Layoffs, AI, and oversaturation have made traditional interviews useless, yet most professionals are still playing by the old rules.

In this episode, Kyle Jerome Carter (KJC) breaks down why the classic job interview is dead and how ambitious professionals can stand out by approaching every opportunity like a B2B pitch. You’ll learn how to research, prepare, and present yourself like a business, not a beggar, so you become the obvious choice in any economy.

Whether you’re an executive, a working professional, or rebuilding after a layoff, this episode shows you how to:
 ✅ Turn an interview into a partnership conversation.
 ✅ Sell your expertise like a consultant, not an applicant.
 ✅ Build proof, positioning, and presence that companies can’t ignore.
 ✅ Protect your income by thinking and operating like an entrepreneur.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked or undervalued in your career, this is your roadmap to taking control.
 🎧 Watch now, and learn how to pitch yourself like a business.

The job market is broken, or maybe it’s working exactly as designed.
