“My wife and I drove to Buffalo to hear Ernesto speak.  I was so impressed that I approached county officials about inviting him to Tuscola County .  I never dreamed I would be the one to implement the program in our area.”   Mike Green, Enterprise Facilitator

Mike resides in Mayville with his wife Paula, and has 40 years of experience in private,  corporate and governmental fields.  Mike worked as a union tool and die maker for General Motors.  He left General Motors to bring his family to Tuscola County and begin his own private business as a tool and die maker.  He and his family also enjoyed the perks of living in a rural area: small schools, horses, and farming.  He has served Tuscola County as both a County Commissioner , and a State Representative.  This history, along with Mike’s innate ability to listen and assess, qualifies him uniquely for the position of Enterprise Facilitator for Tuscola Enterprise.

Enterprise Facilitation® delivers uniquely tailored services to individual entrepreneurs. As the Enterprise Facilitator, Mike personally meets with every client.  These meetings are confidential.  When Mike reports back to the Board of Management, he only reports the number of people he has met and the number of people he has helped.  He does not report the names of the people he is meeting.  The only time Mike will report the name of a client is if that person has requested to have his/her name revealed.  The Board of Management is also committed to confidentiality, and nothing revealed in a meeting will be talked about outside of the meeting, except as is required to aid the client.  

As Mike helps each client to assess their ideas, their plans, their needs, he is able to ascertain what agency or what professional can meet the needs of that client.  There is no cookie cutter formula that works for every person.  The consistent method that Mike uses is that of listening.  He does not interrupt the client to project his own ideas.  He allows the client to talk about his or her ideas, concepts, and fears.  Nobody knows more about your idea than you do.

Mike won’t do the work for you, but he’ll teach you the basics, connect you with the right people, and remove roadblocks along the way.  Mike will help you create a plan for your business and find people that can help you get the resources you need.
