Why is A Zero Equity Partner
Your Greatest Partner Of All Time?
Like most entrepreneurs, you are likely hiring me to solve a particular issue for you or to produce a specific outcome — to create a high-performance team, streamline your operations, or to resolve a major conflict you may be having with an associate, client or investor. Once you see how quickly I can solve what may right now appear an impossible problem, we can talk about me becoming your Zero Equity Partner.
Here are just a few of the extraordinary benefits you and your company will reap if it’s in both our best interests to have this special arrangement:
- Rather than giving away large chunks of your company and risking the stress, financial ruin, and possible downfall of your company from a partnership-turned-sour, you remove all risk with a Zero Equity Partner.
- I will be your partner on an hourly basis, monthly retainer or in blocks of time. (10 hours for X amount, 20 hours for Y amount, etc).
- You will have me as your Zero Equity Partner for as much or as little as is needed, for as short or as long as you like.
- You pay only for the time and services you need . . . as opposed to getting in bed with someone whose grip is impossible to extricate yourself from.
- You will then have as your partner an expert negotiator, team facilitator, mediator, manager, marketer, COO and CEO, as you need and when you need.
- You will free up many of your hiring needs by having my team available for expert video editing, sales copy writing, web and UI/UX design, and a host of other functions.
- I’ll set up delegation and bonus systems that inspire your team and frees up your time for expanding your business and enjoying your life more.
- You will have a trusted ally who will help you navigate any challenge, and relieve you from ever again feeling like you’re going it all alone.

How pricing works
1. Let’s get to know each other.
During your free 1-hour consultation, Michael will work with you to tailor a solution to put an end to whatever problem you are facing, and that is both affordable and specific for your situation.
2. Hire Michael hourly, monthly, or in blocks of time.
Choose what is most comfortable for you. Our clients typically end up paying a tiny fraction — usually 1% to 10% — of what litigation or a persistent business problem would cost them. And there’s no way to value what it means to save a marriage or a key relationship.
3. Resolving Conflict Can Be Quick and Simple.
There are innumerable variables in human interactions, but in the hands of an expert negotiator and mediator, most conflicts — even long-standing ones involving a difficult adversary, such as a narcissist — resolve much quicker and simpler than those who are deeply entangled often can believe. (See our numerous testimonials.) The 2 charts below provide sample blocks of time in which the majority of problems can be resolved . . . sometimes even in less time.
