From Combat Boots to Scalable Business Systems
The Journey of Tyrus Shivers
The Truth Most Entrepreneurs Never Hear...
Hard work alone won’t build freedom.
Capital, systems, and leverage will.
But the financial world keeps those tools locked behind closed doors unless someone shows you how to claim them.
This is the story of one man who broke through the noise, built it all, lost it all, and came back to build smarter.
Scroll to meet the truth-teller behind Legacy Wealth Capital Group and the system that frees founders from burnout.
Raised by Grit. Built by Truth.
Tyrus grew up watching his great-grandfather move with quiet consistency.
He was told, “Learn all you can.” So he did.
By 8, he had launched his first business.
His mother worked two jobs. His great uncle built from scraps.
His family moved like a unit. From them, Tyrus absorbed one thing early: no excuses.
The Father Wound & the Hustler's Drive
At 10, his father went to prison.
Tyrus started looking for mentors; men who could show him how to build, lead, be.
By 12, he was running side hustles. By high school, flipping inventory.
But beneath it all? A kid searching for freedom he hadn’t yet seen.
Reality Check #1:
The System Isn’t Set Up For You
Tyrus enrolled in college to study psychology.
But by 19,he lost scholarship.
He found himself doing HVAC and lifting packages at UPS- back in the world of grind he’d sworn to escape.
Reality Check #2:
Stability Isn’t Security
At 20, he joined the Air Force. He was ready to serve, ready to rise.
The future he’d planned? Gone.
So he pivoted again.
From Cubicles to Cash Flow
Tyrus entered the world of government contracting- starting from the bottom.
But he knew: a paycheck would never make him free.
In 2014, he found a mentor in real estate. Within 18 months, he had built a 7-figure property management company.
No funding. No favors. Just systems, relationships, and resolve.
The $200K Loss That Rewired Everything
COVID struck.
Margins vanished. Contracts collapsed. Tyrus lost over $200,000.
Instead of hiding, he pivoted again- this time into his deepest purpose yet.
The Rise of Legacy Wealth Capital Group
Tyrus didn’t want to teach mindset.
He wanted to give founders the systems, capital access, and operational clarity they were never taught.
He created the Legacy Business Operating System (LBOS) a blueprint for building a real business, not a job in disguise.
What Makes Tyrus Different?
He’s lived every phase of the founder’s journey:
The hustle phase
The burnout phase
The 7-figure build
The 6-figure loss
The systems-first rebirth
He’s not here to motivate. He’s here to install what works.
The LBOS Mission
To free founders from burnout by installing the capital-ready systems they were never taught so they can scale, exit, or simply breathe again.
The Legacy Wealth Difference

90% Done-For-You implementation
