He is also the founder of the Power Negotiating Institute, as well as a full-time speaker and author, traveling around the world giving seminars to corporations and associations.

 In 1967, at age 21, after being laid off from his factory job and given $300 in severance pay, he paused to contemplate his future.

After considerable thought, he wrote down a simple sentence that he carried in his wallet for the next 30 years.

The sentence read, “I will become a millionaire by age 30 and retire by age 50.” What followed was like a fairy tale and speaks volumes about the power of having goals.

When he compared the meager wages he made working for someone else with the lofty goals he had set for himself, he knew he would have to change careers to have any hope of achieving them. The shock of losing his job made him determined never to be at the mercy of an employer again.

He invested his $300 severance pay in an old van and started a small sign shop that he eventually built into a successful billboard company with offices in two states. However, it was advice from his accountant in the late 1970s to consider investing in real estate that started him down the path that led to his co-creating The Weekend Millionaire®.

Mike started like many new investors, spending an hour or two when he could find the time looking for properties he could buy with little or no money down and favorable financing. After several months, he found a small house that met his criteria, and he purchased his first rental property.

From this meager start, he went on to build a fortune in real estate, using his spare time. Right on schedule with the goals he carried in his wallet, he sold his company and retired at age 50. Today he enjoys a six-figure monthly income from his real estate investments, lives in a dream home located on a beautiful gated private estate, and flies his own pressurized twin-engine airplane.

He wants to help others, by cutting out the learning curve.  He wants to show you a route that has taken him years to learn, and is now in your hands to learn safely and make money fast.
