Michael Budensiek has been coaching for 17 years. During that time he has discovered many entrepreneurs have foundational challenges that when mastered, pave the way for expansion and growth. However, when left unsolved keep us stuck in a cycle that can lead to stress, burnout, and constantly questioning ourselves.

Michael works with entrepreneurs, business owners, and execs to co-create agreed upon solutions for solving these problems and unlocking new levels. Programs are custom created to fit the individual, because as one individual grows - so does everything else around them.

Michael spends time speaking and educating entrepreneurs and business owners on the 5 pillars of the foundation to living an entrepreneurial life. michaelblife.com
