Wild Fig Service Alliance: Speaker – Mark Anderson: Business Owner & Real Estate Agent

Ever wondered what it would take to step away from your business… and have it keep running without you?

That’s exactly what local real estate agent and business owner Mark Anderson did.

After more than two decades of selling property on the Central Coast — and earning top industry recognition along the way — Mark made the bold decision to take a full sabbatical. Not because he was burned out, but because he wanted to test something: had he built a business that could truly run without him?

In this session, Mark will unpack what it really takes to step back — and how to build the systems, mindset and structure that make it possible. From the decision-making process and pre-departure planning to the unexpected lessons that came from being off-grid, Mark shares the highs, challenges and insights of what he calls his “gap year.”

This isn’t a talk about escaping your business — it’s about owning one that gives you freedom, sustainability and perspective.

Whether you’re a business owner, team leader or simply curious about what it takes to make a self-sufficient operation, this is a session not to miss.
