Hey There!
I’m Anthony Adedokun
I’m not your typical business coach. Instead, I’m here to share my personal journey of building a business—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how I’m applying those lessons to my current projects. My goal is to offer insights from my own experiences, giving you a real, relatable perspective as I work through the same challenges many of you face.
Rather than coaching from a distance, I’m in the trenches, refining my own business ideas and strategies. I’ve learned that success doesn’t come from a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s about finding what works best for you, and that’s what I aim to share.
My Story
My entrepreneurial path began at 29 with a home inspection business in the Washington, D.C. area, which grew impressively through word-of-mouth, reaching just under six figures in its first year. Despite early success and over 2100 property inspections, I faced burnout, teaching me that true business growth combines strategy with personal development.
This realization inspired me to start “Be of Service Coaching,” where I draw on my hard-working culture as a first-generation Nigerian-American to empower solo entrepreneurs, especially within the West African community. My coaching blends personal development with business fundamentals, helping you turn passion into profit and ensuring you achieve the lifestyle you desire.
Join me at “Be of Service Coaching,” and let’s transform your entrepreneurial dreams into sustainable, legacy-leaving achievements.

Finally, I will help you decide on the best sustainable and profitable business model that best gets you to the lifestyle YOU desire.
