Michael Masterson has been producing money for himself or others since he was 14 years old. He's only taken two breaks in that time: a tour in the Peace Corps, where he discovered the love of teaching, and when he sold his $135 million business and retired at the age of 39. Michael has been a partner in two enterprises that have grown to be worth more than $100 million, two more that have grown to be worth more than $50 million, and at least a dozen that have grown to be worth more than $10 million over the course of his illustrious business career. He's owned and ran enterprises that were public/private, onshore/overseas, local/international, service/product focused, retail/wholesale/direct mail, profit/not-for-profit, and even profit/not-for-profit at one point or another. His essays on EarlyToRise.com, which has over 181,000 readers, have earned him a loyal following.
