He Left Corporate Life to Build a 10 Business Empire | Klay Hafeez

What happens when you stop building someone else’s dream and start building your own? In this episode of Bold Enough, Madeleine MacRae sits down with Klay Hafeez, entrepreneur and franchise owner, to explore his journey from leading multimillion-dollar divisions in the oil and gas industry to building a growing portfolio of home service businesses. After years of building someone else’s legacy, Klay made the decision to take control of his own future, time, and results. His entrepreneurial journey began with real estate development, eventually leading him into franchising with brands like Mr. Handyman, Bath Tune-Up, AirServe Heating and Cooling, and Kitchen Tune-Up. Klay shares how he created his personal goal of “10 in 10”, a vision to build 10 businesses in 10 years, and why writing down your goals and putting them somewhere visible can help turn an idea into reality. They also discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, from carrying the responsibility of payroll and employees’ families to building a culture where people feel trusted, valued, and connected to something bigger than themselves. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Klay left a successful corporate career to build his own legacy How he went from buying an old house to building multiple franchise businesses Why community and relationships are one of the biggest advantages of franchising How understanding the “why” behind work creates stronger teams The importance of empowering people instead of simply telling them what to do What it takes to build a business that involves your family and creates lasting impact Why writing down your vision can change the trajectory of your life Bold Enough explores the entrepreneurs who take the leap, build with purpose, and create something bigger than themselves.
