Systems That Make Money—Whether You’re Just Starting or Scaling Up

I help freelancers escape survival mode and help business owners scale with systems. Whether you’re at $0 or $100K/month, I’ve got something that moves you forward.

FOR NEW HUSTLERS & FREELANCERS

The $5K Manifesto:
Stop Being Broke, Start Being Useful

THIS ISN’T A BOOK ABOUT GETTING RICH.
IT’S A MANUAL FOR NEVER BEING BROKE AGAIN.

Forget “following your passion” or chasing passive income. The $5K Manifesto is about one thing: utility—becoming so useful the world has to pay you.

You won’t learn how to build a brand. You’ll learn how to solve problems. You won’t manifest a lifestyle. You’ll earn it—one flat-rate gig at a time.

Inside the Book:

  • Escape survival mode without a degree, website, or followers

  • Use skills you already have (or can learn this weekend) to build a $5K income

  • Turn small wins into long-term leverage

  • Avoid burnout, fluff, and endless hustle noise

  • Learn the 5-phase blueprint from broke to booked to building

If you’re a freelancer, creator, or just tired of starting over, this book gives you the only thing that matters: a path that actually works.

No hype. No shortcuts.
Just clarity, strategy, and proof.

System Buildouts & Digital Strategy
That Actually Work

THIS ISN’T A COURSE OR COACHING OFFER. IT’S DONE-FOR-YOU INFRASTRUCTURE THAT FREES
YOU UP TO GROW.

I work with coaches, consultants, and service business owners who are scaling fast—and don’t have time to duct-tape workflows or manage five freelancers. I build lean, effective back-end systems that help you close more, follow up better, and stay top of mind without needing a marketing degree or 20 tools.

You won’t get theory. You’ll get results that compound.

Done-for-you Includes:

🚀 Funnel System Buildouts
Capture leads, automate sales, follow up like a pro—without stuff falling through the cracks.

📈 No-Fluff Digital Marketing Strategy
Stay visible, convert interest, and turn warm (or cold) contacts into real revenue—with outreach and automations that don’t feel like spam.

No hand-holding. No “marketing guru” nonsense. Just clean, effective builds that actually move the needle.

I already know what works
and how it fits.

I handle everything—
start to finish.

No team to manage,
no hand-holding.

Clear, simple, nothing hidden, ever.

You always know what’s
happening and why.

I improve what’s working—
and fix what’s not.

From Broke Hustler
to System Architect

I Don’t Teach Theory. I Build What I’ve Lived.

At 23, I was scraping gum off sidewalks to pay rent.
Today, I build high-performing systems for clients who want clarity, not complexity—and I help freelancers and creators get out of survival mode for good.

I’m not an agency. I’m not a “media guy.”
I’m a business operator who’s done this the hard way—and still does.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked on 1,000+ projects across industries, budgets, and burnout levels. I’ve played every role: closer, tech, copy, creative. I know what works—and what’s just noise.

Now I build systems that:

  • Convert better

  • Follow up smarter

  • Make money without melting down your calendar

No bloat. No fluff.
Just the assets and automations that actually move the needle—whether you’re trying to hit $5K/month or $500K/year.

Testimonials

Kind words from past clients.

“Working with Mike isn’t just about content—it’s about clarity. He has a unique ability to take what I’m trying to say, simplify it, and turn it into something that actually drives business. I come in with an outline, and he handles the rest—from strategy to execution—all in one shot. The results are always sharp, effective, and professional. His work helps position my brand in a way that makes me more approachable and trustworthy to new clients. If you’re looking for someone who can take your digital presence seriously and handle it end-to-end, Mike’s your guy.”

Joseph Stornelli

CEO, JS Technology Group

“Before working with Michael, I had completely given up on Instagram. I had multiple accounts, none of them were working, and I had no idea how to actually capture attention or build interest in what I was doing. I’m building a retreat center for entrepreneurs, and I knew I needed to start sharing the story—but I had no strategy and no traction. Michael gave me a repeatable system to create simple, compelling content every day—without needing to be on camera all the time. I started documenting the build-out of my retreat in a way that felt genuine, not salesy. I’ve now gone from zero momentum to over a million views in a month—just by following the plan. If you’re building something real and want people to pay attention, this is the guy you want in your corner.”

Susan Anderson

Owner, Idylwoods Retreats

“Before working with Mike, I had no real direction with Instagram—just a personal account and no strategy. After our work together, I finally feel like I have a clear game plan. I understand what I need to do, and I’m actually excited to move forward. There’s still more to learn, but I finally feel like I’m building something with purpose and structure. It’s been a huge shift.”

Alan Thompson

Owner, Roan Creek Equine

“What impressed me most working with Michael wasn’t just the quality of the content—it was the strategy behind it. He doesn’t just shoot video. He helps you position yourself with purpose. He made the process easy and efficient—even in high-pressure environments where time is tight and things can go off-script. He keeps things calm, focused, and gets it done. What we created wasn’t just one video—it became a system of content tailored for multiple platforms, with a clear message and real intent behind every piece. If you want someone who understands both execution and business positioning, Michael’s the guy to call.”

Arno De Vos

Real Estate Broker

“Working with Mike completely changed how I approached content—not just what to post, but why it matters. He helped me create videos that actually drive attention, build trust, and position my product in a way that gets people to take action. Since implementing his ideas, my engagement’s gone up, my DMs are active, and my brand finally feels like it has a voice. This isn’t fluff—it’s content with a purpose, and it’s made a real difference in my business.”

Jason Kwao

Entrepreneur, Amazon FBA

“Mike Didn’t Just Shoot Content—He Helped Me Build the Vision.”

Before working with Mike, I had the hustle, but not the direction. No clear story, no real strategy—just a bunch of scattered ideas.

Mike helped me cut through the noise. He didn’t just show up with a camera—he brought clarity. He asked the right questions, challenged me to get specific, and helped shape everything to actually connect with the people I’m trying to reach.

Every shot had purpose. Every scene matched my message. And when I needed support, his crew was solid—tight, efficient, and all about execution.

If you’re serious about building something real—something that looks legit, feels aligned, and moves the needle—work with Mike. He gets it.

Richard Walker

Owner, Born Ready Athletics

“I was selling one of my properties in a super competitive market—and it wasn’t some flashy luxury listing. Just a solid house I wanted to move fast. Michael helped me position it in a way that cut through the noise. He knew how to make it stand out and get it in front of the right people—people who were ready to buy. I got an offer $70K over asking within five days of going live. That doesn’t happen by chance. He handled everything clean, fast, and with real purpose behind it. If you’re trying to get serious eyes on your business or property, he’s the one to call.”

Steven Diaz

Real Estate Investor

“Before working with Michael, I struggled with short-form video. I knew what looked good, but I didn’t understand what made it work. Michael helped me see the process behind great content—how to plan it, shoot it, and build it into something meaningful. He breaks it all down with clarity—no fluff. From structuring a story arc to capturing the right footage with purpose, everything finally made sense. I’m now creating content that feels genuine, relatable, and actually drives attention. If you’re trying to get your message across and build something real, this is the guy who helps you cut through the noise and make it happen.”

Greg Johnson

Founder, Email Magic

“Before this, I had no real plan. I knew I needed content to grow my brand, but I didn’t know where to start—or how to make it actually work. Michael helped me understand that creating content isn’t about perfection or trying to go viral. It’s about building a simple, clear system around your message—so you can stay consistent, be relatable, and still promote your product without feeling salesy. He showed me how to map out ideas, make content that speaks directly to my audience, and turn everyday struggles into something people want to watch. That changed everything for me.”
