Michael has helped hundreds of Entrepreneurs make millions of dollars.
Michael developed The 8 Factors Business Framework while struggling with the rapid growth of his own company. Fighting fires and running from one crisis to the other was the norm, until he started looking at the roots of his problems and discovered that he could put them into 8 categories that he now refers to as The 8 Factors: Mission, Cash, Strategy, People, Culture, Processes, Structure, Leadership. Understanding the interconnected nature of these factors and how a change in one impacted the others, Michael used this business framework to grow his business into the world's largest telecommunications infrastructure development provider which was eventually acquired, publicly traded, and Michael was named CEO of Tetra Tech Communications Group.
