Show Notes: Can you be a high-level entrepreneur and keep your day job? In this episode of The GrowthPro Edge, Denise Killian sits down with Chris Moyer, owner of Let's Roll Bowling and a successful real estate investor, to discuss how he manages multi-location businesses while maintaining a full-time career. Chris pulls back the curtain on the reality of the 36-month "break-even" period, the importance of journaling for mental clarity, and why the fear of failure shouldn't stop you from moving forward.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The W2 Safety Net: Why Chris's mentor advised him to keep his full-time job to prevent "fear paralysis" during early business growth.
• The 36-Month Rule: Understanding that early business success often means reinvesting every penny for the first 12–36 months.
• Mental Hygiene: How a daily journaling practice helped Chris clear "brain clutter" and improve his mental clarity for business decisions.
• Learning to Walk: Why "no decision is permanent" and how to treat business mistakes like learning to walk.
