At 29, Michael started his first company. The dotcom bubble set him back, but he learned from the experience and started another. TLC Tech, a technical support company providing Managed IT Services, is thriving for one reason.

He developed his goals.

But writing them down was not enough. It was when he realized how to use them to really matter and move the needle, that things began to change.

Now, having built TLC Tech into a 7-figure success, he wanted to continue to grow.

The key to it all sounded a bit cliche, but once he truly mastered both professional and personal goals, that is when he found happiness and balance. It was a turning point for Michael and his company.

The next step was to share.

His book, Goals that Matter, added another element to his life. It was his passion project. Helping others through coaching and public speaking has allowed him to pass along the tools he used. Seeing success in others has been extraordinary.

With 27 years’ experience and a positive outlook, he’s a role model for every driven individual looking to take the next step.

In this episode, Karen and Michael discuss:

Success Story of Michael
Commit to Get Leads
- Have a clear vision of what it is that you want to accomplish, both in life and in business. Without that, you won’t know who you are looking to attract.
Consult to Sell
- Have a clear goal from the beginning and how you are going to accomplish that. If you don't have a good way to get back on track quickly, then you're going to meander further off that path of where you're trying to get to
Connect to Build and Grow
- Chunk everything down into manageable bites. This is the key to success in moving forward in all aspects of your life.
Success Thinking, Activities and Vision
- If it is important to you, put it on your calendar. If it is going to be a goal, put it on your calendar.
Sweet Spot of Success

"It's understanding that life will happen, life can get messy. By having a very clear vision and having a plan on how to get there, it makes it much easier to recover and get back on track."- Michael Nelson
