Hey there!


Welcome to Retirement Lifestyle Now (For Small City Business Owners).


If you’re like most business owners in cities under 1 million people, you didn’t start your business just to feel stuck inside it.


You started it for:


  • Freedom

  • Flexibility

  • More time with your family

  • The ability to actually enjoy your life


But somewhere along the way… the business started running you.


You’re working hard. You’re doing well.

But the lifestyle you imagined?


It still feels… delayed.


Here’s the truth:


You don’t have to wait 10, 20, or 30 years to start living your ideal life.


This newsletter is about helping you build a business that funds your life—and gives you the time to enjoy it now.



👤 Who Is This For?

Who Is Retirement Lifestyle Now For?


This newsletter is specifically for:


  • 🔧 Service-Based Business Owners

    Contractors, trades, cleaning companies, agencies, and operators who are in the trenches daily—and want to make more without working more.


  • 🏢 Local & Small City Entrepreneurs

    Business owners in cities under 1 million people who don’t have access to big-city scale—but still want big results and a better lifestyle.


  • 📈 Growth-Minded Owners Who Feel Stretched

    You’re doing $300K–$2M+ in revenue… but your time, energy, and attention are maxed out—and something needs to change.


If you want:


  • More time

  • More margin

  • More control over your schedule

  • And a better lifestyle without walking away from your business


You’re in the right place.


⚠️ The Biggest Problems Small City Business Owners Face


If you’re here, chances are you’re feeling at least a few of these:


  • Problem #1: The Business Depends on You

    You’re the bottleneck. If you slow down, everything slows down.


  • Problem #2: Profit Isn’t Matching Effort

    You’re working hard—but not keeping as much as you should.


  • Problem #3: No Time to Think Strategically

    You’re stuck in operations, not building systems.


  • Problem #4: Growth Creates More Stress, Not Freedom

    More revenue = more complexity, more problems, more responsibility.


  • Problem #5: You Can’t “Turn It Off”

    Nights, weekends, and vacations still revolve around your business.


  • Problem #6: Lifestyle Keeps Getting Delayed

    Once things settle down…” (They never do.)


  • Problem #7: Hiring Doesn’t Fully Solve It

    You add people—but you’re still managing everything.


  • Problem #8: No Clear Plan for Time Freedom

    You know you want more freedom… but don’t have a system to create it.


  • Problem #9: You’re Successful—But Not Satisfied

    From the outside, things look great. Internally, something feels off.


  • Problem #10: You’ve Built a Job, not a Lifestyle

    The business owns your time—when it was supposed to buy it back.

👋 Who Am I?


Hey, I’m Jared Braun.


I’m the founder of Mountainview Consulting, where I work with small business owners and leaders to help them get above the day-to-day grind and grow—not just in revenue, but in how they live.


I am passionate about:

  • Coaching service-based business owners
