But Brian’s story doesn’t end there. Buoyed by the success of The Murphy Group and a newfound clarity, he faced a critical realization: so many business owners were trapped in their businesses, stuck in the grind, and unable to see a way out. He recognized the patterns—the same ones he and Mary had struggled with—and he saw an opportunity to help. That’s how Leverage Virtual was born. What started as an idea became a revolutionary virtual assistant placement company designed to empower business owners to delegate effectively, scale smarter, and reclaim their lives.


Brian’s rise wasn’t without its challenges. There were long stretches where he questioned whether he was doing the right thing—moments of doubt when the weight of his own ambition felt like too much. He learned the hard way that success is as much about the mindset as it is about the strategy. Through trial and error, he developed a philosophy that defines his coaching today: work on your business, not in it.
