The Founder’s Edge 90-Day Launch Challenge™
Plan it. Fund it. Launch it — in just 90 days.
Exclusive 1:1 Guidance to Plan, Fund, and Launch Your Business.
Mission Statement – The Founder’s Edge™
Our mission is to empower new entrepreneurs to move beyond uncertainty and into confident ownership by providing high-level, personalized guidance. Through The Founder’s Edge™, we deliver more than a business plan — we deliver a partner. We walk side by side with our clients to refine their vision, build a fundable roadmap, connect them with the right resources, and hold them accountable every step of the way. The result is clarity, confidence, and a business launched on solid ground, with an experienced advisor ensuring nothing is left to chance.
This mission helps corporate professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs achieve business ownership and financial freedom without wasting time, money, or confidence on trial and error.
Most wannabe entrepreneurs stay stuck because they don’t have a clear, fundable plan or a trusted guide to walk them through the process.
With 40+ years of experience in business ownership, private equity, and franchise consulting, I’ve helped hundreds of professionals escape corporate America, launch businesses, and create lasting wealth.
Now, I’m opening a limited number of spots in my personal advisory program — where I walk you step-by-step through the OWN IT Planning System™, your custom business plan, funding strategy, setup, and launch.
This isn’t a course. This isn’t DIY.
👉 This is done with you — side by side. 📅

“I didn’t think I could ever leave corporate life, but in 90 days, Mike gave me a clear plan and the confidence to act. Even though my business officially opened a few weeks after the challenge, the momentum never stopped. The ongoing support was exactly what I needed.”
