Client Testimonials
Michael, writing a book with you has been the one of the best moves I've made at this stage in my career. The impact in terms of visibility and credibility has been huge. Now when I'm introduced to people, I'm not only a business coach and consultant, I'm also an author.
As a direct result of the book, my speaking engagements have increased almost 50 percent. Many of the organizations who invite me to speak buy my book and give it to the attendees. That, of course, brings in additional revenues and further promotes my services.
On several occasions, it's opened doors to profitable new business. In fact, before the first copy of the book was in my hands, it had already brought in two new consulting contracts that more than paid for its cost."

Mike,
I just received the copies of my book from the printer, and I gave away two of them to executives I know. Both really liked it. In fact, they said they made notes and underlined key passages. One called today and ordered six copies for his staff. The other said he had never read a book where the author's personality came through so well!
I wanted to share this positive response with you. You did a great job working with me on my book, and it's really encouraging to get this kind of feedback.

When I asked you to help me write Healing a Hospital, I viewed the book strictly as an expensive brochure to give away to promote my coaching services. Well, the promotion part certainly happened. The book has brought in new business and increased my speaking invitations beyond my wildest expectations.
But something else happened that I didn't expect. People began to buy my book, sometimes in quantity. Within the first three months of its publication, proceeds from book sales had more than paid for the entire writing and publishing process. Instead of a somewhat effective brochure that would have cost me money, I actually had a highly effective sales tool that became an additional revenue stream.

Mike's study notes for The Family Foundations Study Bible (Thomas Nelson, 2006) were insightful, concise, and well-written. Mike quickly grasped the complex nature of the assignment and his contribution to the project was much appreciated.

Michael, the book you wrote with us is a terrific marketing tool. This week alone two new donors called because they had read it. One wants to set up a complex gift arrangement to give $8 million to Christian charities!

Mike does a fantastic job of polishing a manuscript. Not only does he pay attention to the details, he's concerned about conveying the right message at all times and making sure every ounce of my thinking is presented properly. I highly recommend him to anybody who wants to publish a manuscript and have it done right the first time.

Michael did an incredible job on my book. He worked better and than I could have ever imagined and completed the project ahead of schedule. But what was even more valuable to me was that he always made himself available. He gave incredibly insightful advice, not just on my book, but also about my business. I highly recommend him!
