30 years ago Michael heard this and it rings true every day. He’s taken risks and done things others thought couldn’t be done. He knows from hard work, and the willingness to confront the risk of failure, great things can be done.
As a business coach, Michael takes those experiences to supporting small businesses. Small business is the heart blood of our economy. It’s the heart and soul of the American dream. Small business owners are risk takers. They are energetic and full of passion.
As a young man, Michael worked in his parents small business. He grew up around small business and has the heart of the entrepreneur.
