There’s a magnificent thing that happens when you’re integrated into entrepreneurship at a young age……you rage against the machine.....like today’s guest. 

Michael Burns is founder of Lifestyle Realty, Lifestyle Lending and Lifestyle Mortgage.  He’s an established Real Estate Broker, Loan Officer, and Real Estate Investor. In plain terms, he’s a beast of a businessman turning fears of the average person to feed his insatiable appetite for wanting more out of life with his family, his fitness, business, and overall drive to success. 

Today, Jeff and Michael discuss the early years of playing baseball, California hockey, football, soccer, and golf that encouraged his spirit born outside of the box. Michael shares how he worked his family’s nursery in California until they sold it.  It was there that he learned about managing a business, keeping inventory on perishable plants, and the financial ups and downs most entrepreneurs encounter, especially during economic depressions.  They discuss college versus real-world experience and the power of how his experience gave him the advantage over many of his peers.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

“When I started working on myself on the inside, everything else took care of itself.  We’ll double our income. My marriage is truly the best it’s ever been.  My family unit is awesome. Health and fitness, the people in my life.  The more I’ve gone all in on my life, literally everything else has fallen into place.”

How to Get Involved:

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. 

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions & Rise Above HR/Recruiting on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
