The entrepreneurial journey requires serious commitment, determination, and resiliency. According to Michael Argast, an entrepreneur must take big risks — but, with the right support and passion driving their decisions, they can reap even bigger rewards. 

For Michael, the key to his company’s success is his passion for serving others. By focusing on solving his customer’s problems instead of his fears of failure, Michael was able to grind through his challenges and build a purpose-driven business. As he says, entrepreneurship is about servant leadership and making a difference in your industry.
