When someone takes the time to stop by a store and pick me up a Christmas or holiday gift, that is really nice. When Someone takes the time to make me something, whether it is something they baked or they spent time knitting or crocheting or woodworking, that becomes something special.
The gift from the store was nice. The person who bought it gave it to me. The person who made something is so much more precious because the maker spent much more than money; the maker spent the time they cannot get back. They really cared.

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.
