Michael’s Story: At the age of fourteen, Michael’s father, John, purchased for him a 29-inch Craftsman Snow Blower. Michael then distributed flyers promoting Schmidty’s Snow Blowing Services. He returned 50% of his earnings to his father as repayment for the snow blower. Then, after repaying his father for the snow blower, he again returned 50% of his earnings as repayment for lawn equipment for use by Schmidty’s Lawn Mowing, which also includes home and garden repair. His company mottos: “If we can’t do it, it can’t be done!” Michael will pursue a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and Automotive Marketing, and Banking and Finance at Northwood University located in Midland, Michigan. His goal is to own an automobile dealership.
