What if the business you’ve been building for years isn’t the one that will set you free?

In this episode of The Undiscovered Entrepreneur, Phil Hughes returns three years after his first appearance to share a powerful story of reinvention, resilience, and the courage to pivot.

Phil takes us behind the scenes of walking away from his original SaaS product, Elementary Analytics, to embrace a new passion: building an AI automation agency. Along the way, he opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, finding quick client wins, and setting bold goals like quitting his day job within six months.

If you’re an entrepreneur stuck in the wrong lane, or simply looking for a shot of motivation to take the leap toward something better, this episode is your blueprint for action.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why letting go of a long-term project can accelerate your path to success.
• How to turn small, fast wins into long-term financial freedom.
• The mindset shift that helped Phil crush imposter syndrome.
• Real-world strategies for pivoting your business without losing momentum.
