The Importance of Resilience with Mike Morawski

Join your host Cody Lewis as he talks with Mike Morawski. They discuss how Mike made some mistakes in his career that unfortunately landed him in prison. Mike talks about the importance of resilience and keeping hope alive then coming out a better person.

About Mike:

Mike is a 30 plus year real estate investment veteran. He has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. Mike is an entrepreneur, author, real estate trainer, public speaker, and personal coach, with strong personal resilience and a deep desire to help others live an extraordinary life. He has coached hundreds of real estate investors to fulfill their dreams.

Michael began as a general contractor in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago with $5 mm in annual revenue. He sold his company and then took some time off to decide what to do next. Michael entered the real estate industry as a sales agent building a team of agents and support staff that produced over $20 mm per year in sales production. In 2005, Michael started a private equity firm, raising $18 mm in private equity and acquired $60 mm in multi-family apartments including 4,000 units in five different US markets. As part of the company’s growth, Mike built and developed a property management division that managed 7,500 units.

Mike has always believed that transparency and honesty are central to any successful business and personal life. As a result of the 2008 world eco- nomic crisis, Mike let his guard down and let his transparency slip. The impact that had on his company and its real estate holdings left him scram- bling to protect the company and its investors.
