When Michael learned society had labelled him as disabled and understood what the prohibiting ramifications were, he used his own self-advocacy initiatives to turn society's falsely thought of limitations, into advantages to create opportunities for meaningful employment, financial stability, and equality as a person.        

​

                                                                                Mid way through the 1980's, Michael became          

                                                                                frustrated and impatient with the old traditional

                                                                                practice of self-advocacy. That's when he made a

                                                                                mind altering decision to advocate for himself

                                                                                and began using entrepreneurialism as an

                                                                                initiative and strategy for self-advocacy.

 

                                                                                For the last 36 years, he has been using his

                                                                                unique initiatives, strategies, and philosophies,

                                                                                                     of entrepreneurialism. To liberate                                                                                                                himself from adverse challenges,        

                                                                                                     limiting barriers, and prohibiting        

                                                                                                     obstacles constructed by society's                                                                                                                  able-bodied population.

                                                                                    While using entrepreneurialism as an          

                                                                                    advocating tool, he gained the abilities,        

                                                                                    knowledge, and confidence too:

​

​

            * Rise above economic oppression and social exclusion.

​

            * Increase productivity using the entrepreneurial time system rather than

               working in society's constricting results time system.

​

            * Raise his abilities to be more effective and successful as self-advocate.

​

            * Use the advocacy concepts of self-determination as a vehicle to pursue his

               desired life-long goals and dreams.

 

            * Grow and gain respect, integrity, admiration, and equality as a productive

               member of society. While at the same time breaking down other people's

               prohibiting mindsets.

    

            * Create, develop, and maintain business and community connections and

               relationships which have lead to business and  career opportunities.
