Welcome to The Exit Blueprint (fka Invincible Solopreneurs)!
I help midlife professionals leverage their expertise to create a self-employment plan that helps them escape their 9-to-5 jobs without starting over.
In my case, I haven’t had a traditional job since 2010 (I used to be a Silicon Valley executive). And I went into semi-retired self-employment mode in 2016 with my coaching practice. I can't even tell you how amazing this lifestyle feels!
There’s nothing better than leaving a full-time job behind and never going back to the world of:
Waking up to an early-morning alarm.
Commuting in rush-hour traffic.
Reporting to a demanding boss 😐.
Working with coworkers (the good, the bad, and the ugly 😂).
Doing work you don’t really enjoy anymore.
Not being fully respected or valued.
Not getting paid what you’re worth.
Not living up to your full potential.
Not spending enough time with your friends and family.
Not having enough time or energy to take care of your health, fitness, and wellness.
I'm Larry Cornett, Ph.D., an empowerment and business coach. I frequently talk with frustrated employees who want to escape their 9-to-5 jobs and dream of starting their own businesses someday.
I coach people who want to maximize their lifetime earning potential, become invulnerable to economic instability, and take control of how they spend their time.
I spent over 2 decades in the Silicon Valley tech industry and millions of dollars launching new businesses, products, and services. I've had some wins, and I've also learned how to avoid the mistakes many new business owners make.
In 2010, I left my corporate career behind to build my own business and reclaim my freedom, health, and life. I never went back to a job, and I’ve never been happier. 😊
I want to help you do the same!
I’ve spent these past years of freedom creating the life I want. It involved:
Leaving my 9-to-5 job and launching my own businesses.
Learning how to market my services and fall in love with sales (using my unique sales framework).
Working with amazing clients and spending time with the people I want to be around every day.
Taking control of my calendar to work when and where I choose.
Recovering my health and fitness, and enjoying nature every day.
Moving where I could enjoy more time outdoors and escape the crowding and nightmare traffic of the Bay Area in California.
Becoming more intentional in how I live my life.
Rebuilding my relationship with my wife and children.
In this newsletter and podcast, I share what I’ve learned with you. I hope my advice will help you pursue the life of your dreams so you can be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.

FAQ
When I talk with people who dream of starting their own businesses—but hesitate to make the leap into self-employment—these are some questions and concerns they have.
Where do I find customers?
There are different ways to find and attract customers who need what you’re offering. My Invincible Content Factory model is one part of the system. My approach to strategic networking activities is another part. All of this is covered in my newsletter, workshops, and courses.
I hate sales, so how do I get people to buy?
Some people are naturals when it comes to sales, and they love it! But many of us do not. I used to hate sales, too. I tried the traditional methods that the “sales gurus” recommend, and it felt inauthentic to me. But I eventually created my own Invincible Sales Method, which changed everything! I actually enjoy my sales calls now because they aren’t “sales calls.” I’m happy to teach you this method, too.
How do I figure out what to sell?
If you follow my process of transforming yourself from “employee to entrepreneur,” the answer is right in front of you. Attend one of my workshops and learn how!
Isn’t solopreneurship lonely?
Solopreneurship can be lonely if you let it be that way. After all, you don’t have coworkers, a boss, or an office surrounded by other employees. That’s one reason I built a community of supportive people who are a part of it. You don’t have to be alone on this journey. We’re here to help, give feedback, answer questions, and support you when you need it most. Join us for free and be part of a community of other ambitious small business owners!
How do I set my prices?
Pricing is indeed tricky. There is no simple answer because it depends on what you’re selling, your competitors, and your ideal customers. But I do have a process for exploring your pricing model and testing to get the right answer.
How can I build a business on my budget?
I often share the story about building my first business in about a day and for $0 before I landed my first big customer the next day. I was immediately able to support my family. You can create a business in less than a month for less than $30. Join us and find out how!
