There are hundreds of ways to get ahead financially. Married and Working Together provides a step-by-step detailed storyline of Mike and Patty's journey that started in early 2000 and ended in 2020 with a multi-million-dollar payday. Together they decided to stop working for their employers and put their hearts and souls into starting a company with just $10,000.00.
After growing their company to more than 500 employees, working in close to 50 states, they accepted an opportunity to divest themselves of half the company, elevate their daughter and son into leadership positions, and initiate plans to do it all over again. Readers will experience the difficulties of their journey, share in the happiness and sorrows of their twenty-year mission, and most important, learn how expedite their timeline on the way towards building and selling your own company.
We have some key secrets we believe have allowed our personal relationship of close to 50 years to withstand the ups and downs. Now, we're sharing those secrets with you!
This manuscript is by far one of the better PLAYBOOKS on sale today. Mike and Patty took an idea that they created at the kitchen table and turned it into a company that employed over 500 with revenues exceeding thirty-five million annually. And the best event occurred when they only diversified half the business and were provided the opportunity to build it even bigger. For a play-by-play rundown, Married and Working Together is a must read for visionaries like Mike and Patty.
In 2000, Mike and Patty had an idea. They were both employed, preparing to send their oldest child off to college while preparing their younger son for his first year of private high school. They had already been married for twenty years and had never seemed to get ahead financially. Together, they decided that it was time to make changes in the way they earned money. Over the twenty years that followed, they started a company that grew to five hundred employees. Together, they grew their territory from a Florida staffing company to a company that did business in more than forty states. They approached every day with faith, ethics, trust, prudence, courage, and love for one another and everyone they encountered. In 2020, they agreed to sell their company to a Private Equity group. Now, they're sharing what they learned with readers like you.
Patty and Mike have been married now for close to fifty years and, thankfully, remain "Married and Working Together."
