From: Michael Tasner
Buffalo, New York
My name is Michael Tasner and my background is in entrepreneurship and marketing. I started off running a web design company when I was 14, and I named this company, MST Designs (MST stands for Michael Scott Tasner).
That was in1999 when almost no one in his neighborhood could do web designs and a dinosaur PC would cost thousands of dollars.
I knew back then that I could help people build websites if only he had a computer so I went to the public library every day and used one of their computers.
Since no one knew how to build websites at that time, I had a great advantage. So, I started my own web design business with my parents’ tax lady as my first client.
I know the concept of supply and demand pretty quickly and jumped at every marketing opportunity where I could make money.
I started off with that company, grew it, transitioned it into more of a marketing company, and I renamed it to Taz Solutions. And along the way, I launched seven other businesses from an e-commerce business, a college care package business, a storage business where we would pick your stuff up from college, leave it in storage, and then deliver it back to you before you even walked onto campus.
To consulting and everywhere in between. But I've always had an immense focus when it comes to marketing, and that's really been the root of everything that I've done from copywriting and direct response to Guerrilla Marketing. I had the privilege to run the Guerrilla Marketing Company for four years, be mentored by Jay Levinson.
Aside from the DREAM 100®, my main company is called No Joke Marketing.
I've been helping business owners in nailing down their marketing, nailing down their financials, their systems, their sales, their talent so that they are indispensable, but they're also bulletproof regardless of the economy.
And I've been learning by doing working with thousands of business owners just like you in the trenches, seeing their struggles,seeing their triumph, seeing what's working, and then jumping in to help fix that is what I'm committed to doing.
