Growing up in a broken family environment taught Shawn a lot about the importance of financial planning. During his childhood, his father went through two bankruptcies, trying to provide a better life for the two of them. His dad had a great entrepreneurial spirit, and taught Shawn that, with lots of hard work, and with the right mindset, you can succeed. After several failed businesses, he went into the financial services sector and worked hard to replace what he had lost financially in costly custody battles. His time in the industry taught him the importance of family financial planning. Tragically, when Shawn was 15, his father was killed in an accident. However, because he had thoughtfully planned, Shawn was protected. He could have gotten lost in the system like so many kids do, but for Shawn, he held on to that part of his father he knew and trusted so that his legacy could go on. That legacy was his business.

Fast forward to today, Shawn May is an experienced and knowledgeable business coach with a financial background as his foundation. Second generation in the industry, finances are the root of who he is and his "why". It was through financial planning that he was able to have a "birds eye view" of a business plan that always includes an exit strategy. In addition, Shawn has always taken the role of project manager with the businesses he personally has owned. This allowed him to add value by not being the central hub of profit margins. It is the art of business he enjoys most. Through the experience of owning multiple businesses, he has discovered that this art of business and entrepreneurship are his truest passion. Shawn works with his clients to get them out of a state of stagnation, taking their business to the next level.

He believes strongly in practicing what you preach and lives by the following quote by Zig Ziglar~ “It is Your attitude, not your aptitude that will determine your Altitude”
