What Our Clients Say...

"Folks of my generation didn't grow up being told how great we were all the time (deserved or not) so it hasn't always been that easy for me to tell someone how great I think they are. But I have the utmost respect for Michelle and what she managed to do with our company. To start building a business, and in a very short time making it such a success that the nation's number one builder wanted it to be a part of their success as well."

"Through the Master the Model Course, I've become more aware of how my thoughts influence the outcomes. I worked on trying to control my thoughts, which fuel my actions and results. Changing your mindset a little bit is amazing, what it will do to your positivity and outlook on certain items is incredible! It lends you to being more successful going through that process."

"If there is one thing I have learned from Michelle, it's how to adapt to change. Embrace the good, the bad and the ugly of it and make the best of it! And you will always come out on the other side, stronger!"

"I love Michelle's ability to assess all sides of a dilemma and problem to come up with a solution. I have learned so much and its so nice to have leadership that does not "block the path" from those who have a desire to absorb knowledge."

"Start with the Time Management piece. Once you have your weekly meetings, you get pulled in all different directions. It's great to now have the ability to calendar my time. On Sundays, before the busyness of the week, I take time to plan while being intentional about what I want to accomplish that week."

A Message from Strive Founder, Michelle Simms-Reiter

I built a company from nothing to a team of 54 people, creating $85 million in revenue per year company. Even during the Great Recession, my home-building company built and sold 300 homes per year in our market. I did this without ever having done it before, not being able to pay top dollar for talent, not having the same resources as my competitors, and without much help. I had to figure things out on my own. There were times I nearly failed – I thought we were done and would be closing our doors.

I want to spend time with you to support you through all that it takes to get the results you want (& deserve) in your life.

What did I love most about building my company? It was also a people-building company.

I have created this Program to be both financially and physically achievable to anyone who is in Management and Leadership in any industry.

Whether you are the decision maker for your organization or a Leader to become certified (or both), this Program is a no-brainer.

Quite simply, there is nothing like it out there – and it will return your investment in your first month alone.

I am confident that I can guide you – and your team – to achieve higher levels of excellence (and have fun doing it).

As I like to say, “Give me your managers, and I’ll return FIERCE Leaders!”
