This is by far some of the best money I have spent on improving my business. Michael has a “no nonsense” approach to reviewing the current state of your business, looking at everything from company financials and internal processes all the way through any challenges that you may be facing. He has an opinion on everything and though I didn’t like hearing some of what he had to say, it forced me to thoroughly evaluate how our company was performing after 8.5 years in business vs. how it could be excelling with some changes to the way we operate. Much of what we discussed can be found in the book Markup & Profit, but having the ability to talk with Michael, one on one, really helped put much if it into perspective. We are a better, more profitable company because of it.

Oh My Gosh. What to say about Mr. & Mrs. Stone …. We have been working with Michael for over 15 years.
We have attended several workshops with our team and we also had 1 on 1 training. We also joined Michael & Devon on a cruise and boy was that informative but fun. Michael is the most compassionate person I know in this business. Add Devon to the mix and they are hands down the best team that we look up to. Working with Michael has made our 30 years in business so much easier. I recommend him to anyone I come across in the construction industry.
