It Is Strange How Fast Time Flies

I cannot believe I am 71 today. I still feel like that 30-something-year-old wondering what I could do next and how I would earn that first million dollars. I still wonder how I got this far in life. I have to remember the old adage, ‘If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.’

I am very lucky and cannot complain. I have been fortunate enough to travel to five continents, some multiple times. I have a loving wife and three great boys. Now, I get to do what I love: helping others to do better with training and coaching in happiness and gratitude.

For those who think it is time for the old folks home, I hate to disappoint; however, I am just getting started and plan on working at helping those I can for another decade or two. After all, if I get to do the things I enjoy and help others along the way, why not?

I look forward to meeting and working with as many of you as possible. Thank you to my family and friends and all who read this.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
