Achieving Liberty

Liberty to me means to do anything you want, anytime you want with whoever you want.  This only happens when you take responsibility for your life and not give your power away.  I'm talking about your goals that are self-initiated and self-maintained to create the life you desire.

Let's Achieve Liberty together.

I empower men to break unhealthy patterns, strengthen their relationships and lead from their heart without going to therapy.

Hi, my name is Andre but you can call me dre.

I'm a transformational alchemist who facilitates deep transformations for men so they can break unhealthy patterns that keep them stuck and embody their authentic selves to lead from the heart and strengthen their relationships without going to therapy.

To embody your true self each day, one who naturally attracts love and respect from women requires deep inner-work.

And your inner-work is best shown to you by the people you're most reactive to.

Meaning, the people that trigger us the most are our Jedi Trainers!

If you're a man that:
- Values genuine connection and want that intimacy that feels deep and real,
- That you go out of your way to be there for your partner, often putting their needs first to keep the peace,
- Giving so much that you feel drained, unappreciated and even quietly resentful,
- Until it all builds up, and you react in a way you wish you hadn't,
- So you beat yourself up, and are left confused with how to lead your relationship,
- Because you want real connection, while not losing yourself.
- Then this online course: Inner Strength, Outer Calm - A Man's Journey to Mature Conflicts is for you.

It's the result of my 6-year journey of inner-work focused on building healthy relationships. I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars in books, courses, seminars, and retreats so you don’t have to — bringing you the best of my experience in a way that saves you time, money, and effort.

This course will guide you to:
- Build a strong, respectful and intimate relationship that feels easy,
- Where you express your true feelings and needs and get them met,
- Feeling that raw freedom of connecting to your true self,
- While setting clear boundaries, and gaining respect from your partner,
- And staying cool under pressure, handling emotionally stressful moments calmly,
- Becoming that self-led leader who leads his relationship into greater harmony, purpose and ease.

Here's the online course: https://www.achievingliberty.com/innerstrengthoutercalm

If you're not ready to invest with me yet, you can get my FREE 5-Day Relationship Reset: From Conflict to Connection email course to learn how to handle tough conversations, stay calm under pressure and speak in a way that gets both of your needs met — without going to therapy.

How to make MONEY in construction

You know the feeling, so much chaos surrounding you, it is hard to get anything done; where do I start?

Start Here https://mailchi.mp/6231a3380d38/build-your-business

Does it have to be this difficult? No, it doesn't

You started your business to make more money, hopefully in fewer hours; wouldn't that be great?  

I help contractors get their business operations functioning so they can do just that. Do you know how most business owners work 18 hrs. a day in pursuit of the dream? It does not have to be that way.

That's where I come in,

It is all about the M.A.P. Business is meant to be a treasure MAP, not a treasure hunt; that's what we work on, Building the M.A.P.

Money, Advertising, Production: Sell it, Build it, Measure it.

I help Contractors, General or Sub, become Business Owners and create the 💰 profitable, stable, and self-sustaining business they set out to create when they first hung out their shingle. 

It takes work on your part, but the net result is a business that can operate while on vacation 🏝 and make enough 💰 money to take that vacation. Was that not the dream when you started? The challenge is that you see yourself as a ⛏ builder, and when you made the career change to a Business Owner, that mindset never changed. You are now in the "business of construction," not the "construction business." There is a difference; the first is who you are now instead of who you used to be. Carpentry took a defined skillset; business needs another. It is time to learn your new trade.

Builders are the hardest-working, most generous folks I have ever met. Hard-working to a fault, putting in ⏳12-14 hour days to pursue the dream of a successful self-sustaining construction business. Yet success appears elusive; years go by, and the days get longer and tenser, but why? "I am working as hard as I can!" The good news is that you have made it; you are there! We need to organize the chaos into sanity. Unfortunately, the business style that got you here is not the same as launching you to the next level. 

I am passionate about working with builders on their business side and taking them to the next level, the level they dreamed of when they first set out.

I have helped many others; now is your time to reach the brass ring; 

SCHEDULE A CALL WITH ME TODAY so we can discuss your goals, and I can share how we can work together to transform you into a leader in your space. STOP doing it all yourself, STOP working 18 hours a day, and STOP missing out on life. Schedule a call with me.

DM me or book now:  https://calendly.com/duane-5/30-min-solution-call
