Description

There is a saying, entrepreneurs would give up a 40 hour job to work 80 hours for themselves. Starting up a new business can easily take many more hours than a cushy 9-5 job. But entrepreneurs would happily put in the extra hours to be in full control of their lives.What about the entrepreneur that owns multiple businesses? How do they keep up? In this episode, Donna and Jay talk to Mike Johnson - veteran, owner of a print supply business, operator of Mr. Fireworks, and home building consultant. They sit down to discuss how Mike got into each business, how he manages all three, and learning to go with the ebb and flow that comes with business ownership.Mike’s BioMike Johnson has lived in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area since 2001.  After moving every 1-3 years the first 40 years of his life (as an Army brat through High School, then the next 22 years for his own career in the Air Force) Mike has enjoyed setting his roots in Texas the last 28 years.  Having developed a myriad of skills as an Intelligence Analyst and Senior NCO (retired Senior Master Sergeant/E-8), Mike chose to be his own boss as a civilian.  He currently owns San Antonio Print Supplies (24 years), operates the Bulverde Mr W Fireworks Superstore (10 years), and is a home-building consultant for Built Green Custom Homes (2 years).  As a professional networker and connector, much of his time is spent helping others in the community.  Mike has been very active in the BSB Chamber of Commerce since 2013, to include being Chairman of the Board for 2017 and 2019. He has served as Vice Chair of the BSB Chamber Foundation from 2019 to present.  He serves on the board of several other non-profit organizations, including Acacia Medical Mission. Mike currently attends Hillside Fellowship in Bulverde/Spring Branch. Mike’s Contact InformationWebsite: www.saprintsupplies.netDonna’s LinksWebsite: www.rebel-llc.comBook: Warrior to Patriot Citizen (2017)Blog: Taking Off The ArmorIG: @thetransitioningwarriorTwitter: @wtpcFB: The Transitioning WarriorJay’s LinksWebsite: https://j2servantleadership.com/ Book: Breaking Average (2020)Follow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellbehindtheservice Instagram @cominghomewell_bts Facebook at Coming Home Well LinkedIn at Coming Home Well Twitter @ComingHomeWell
