Dear Friends,

I've been a social entrepreneur, consultant, and real estate broker since I was 18. In 2012, I'm also proud to announce that Cliff Michaels & Associates celebrates its 20-Year Anniversary. This milestone represents two decades of loyal relationships with amazing friends. Throughout my career, a trademark has always been personal service, insightful negotiations, and lots of thank-you notes. As a result, I'm often hired as a life, team, or business strategist. These are passions so I'm lucky to do what I love.

I was also a President of the Young Entrepreneurs' Organization Los Angeles (EO), the world's premier network for business owners. As a 10-year Board member, I helped grow EO Los Angeles and develop its first outreach programs for students + charities. In the mid-'90s, I launched Knowledge Cafe; one of the first online communities for entrepreneurs. In 1999, I also co-founded FirstUse.com, a venture-backed firm that pioneered the world’s first online registry to feature digital-notary services. 

On Jan 23, 2012, I released a NY Times Bestseller, The 4 Essentials of Entrepreneurial Thinking: What Successful People Didn't Learn in School. The book includes my journey, dispels the myth of born entrepreneurs, and draws on timeless lessons from mentors like da Vinci, Edison, Jobs, Gates, Oprah, Branson, and many others. It's a fun, fast-paced read that suggests we all benefit from a real world MBA, your Masters in Basic Abilities.

Here at CliffMichaels.com, you'll also find Audio E-Learning Programs and Tools for growth. So whether you're on a personal or business mission, let me know how I can serve you. 

With gratitude,

Cliff Michaels
