"Surround yourself with people who are going to help you grow and not allow you to remain comfortable in your current situation. Michael Colella is that person! I thank God for Michael Colella and his guidance. He is not afraid to share his failures as well as success. He doesn't sugar coat the truth and he tells it like it is. He lets it be known he wasn't born into wealth he had to work hard to obtain it.

He doesn't just post inspirational quotes and keep it moving. He is there for me and my team at any time showing me that this girl right here fighting lupus from the South side of Chicago can too make all of her dreams come true and that my past does not dictate my future. I love people who are secure enough in themselves that they are willing to teach you everything they know and more so you can potentially do even better then what they have done. Michael is not only an awesome leader, but a mentor and there in a time of need. I am truly blessed to have him in my family and my life. When you are truly ready for change Michael is definitely the guy you want as a leader, mentor and a friend!"
