How it all started
Mike Cooch would never forget the day that started it all. Sitting on the chairlift at Vail, he took a much-needed break with a fellow entrepreneur, indulging in what he loved most. After spending years constructing a service business in the IT industry that demanded extensive cold-calling, face-to-face selling, and lengthy sales cycles, Mike found himself exhausted by the expensive and laborious efforts required to build his sales teams and acquire new clients. Although his business was successful, boasting three offices nationwide, an exceptional team, and industry recognition, he couldn’t help but be captivated by the emerging world of entrepreneurship. Observing other entrepreneurs utilizing the Internet to effortlessly attract customers with minimal traditional selling or overhead, Mike yearned for a taste of that success.
After months of diligent study and efforts to comprehend the technology and strategies behind constructing an online sales process, Mike launched his inaugural online product. While ascending on the chairlift, his phone buzzed, prompting him to retrieve it from his pocket and check his messages. To his astonishment, he had just made a $275 sale while skiing with his friend at Vail. No more cold calls. No more meetings. No more negotiations. Although $275 may not have been a substantial sum of money, it ignited his imagination, fueling a vision of building businesses that harnessed the power of the internet and automation, granting him more freedom, more wealth, and more influence.
From that moment on, Mike was off to the races.
Since then, he and the exceptional individuals he had the privilege to collaborate with had constructed a plethora of online businesses. From service businesses and training ventures to software enterprises, media companies, e-commerce endeavors, digital agencies, and t-shirt enterprises, they explored various avenues. Some of these ventures had flourished into multimillion-dollar enterprises, while they had also experienced failures along the way. Moreover, they had established communities comprising thousands of entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and business owners, providing them with training, encouragement, and mentorship.

Our Vision
Our vision is to build a global community of thriving B.O.L.D. Entrepreneurs™️ that have freedom of time, money, and location.
Are You B.O.L.D?
We love working with entrepreneurs to help them use leverage to build a business that gives them more freedom, more money, and more impact – nothing is more fun and rewarding.
But you’ve got to be the right fit.
Our ideal customers are what we call B.O.L.D. Entrepreneurs ™️ (B.O.L.D. stands for Business Ownership + Lifestyle Design…that’s what we’re all about!) – here are the qualities that define them:
Have a growth mindset
operating from a sense of optimism and possibility.
Are always on offense
driven by a hunger to pursue a vision that excites you.
Take action
we want to work with entrepreneurs, not students!
Want to build ‘lifestyle businesses’
not the next public company (read my definition of a ‘lifestyle business’ below).
Are always on offense…driven by a hunger to pursue a vision that excites you.
Are a ‘Force of Nature’
you don’t take no for an answer, you run through walls to achieve your goals, and you’re willing to put in the time, energy, focus, and hard work necessary to be successful even when others may doubt that it’s worth it.
Does that sound like you? Good, then stick around!
Are realistic, resourceful, and self-accountable
realizing that no training course or coach is going to have all of the answers for you. Sometimes you simply have to find or create the answers yourself.
Balance urgency and patience
striving to reach goals, but with a long-term, I-will-overcome-all mindset and patience.
Get Leverage
As an entrepreneur hustling to build a business and lifestyle you love, you need to find the fastest, simplest, and most effective way to get the results you’re looking for. We call it ‘Leverage’, but LVRG makes a much cooler logo (and was a domain we could actually get!).
LEV·ER·AGE
verb – to use to maximum advantage
noun – the power to influence
We are constantly on the hunt for the mindset, strategy, technique, or tool that will create as much freedom of location and time as possible, and generate as much profit as possible, so that we can make as much impact on the lives of our customers, families, and communities as possible.
More freedom. More money. More impact.
That’s what it’s all about for us. We are explorers on a never-ending journey to find what works to improve our businesses and our lives.
And when we find something that works, we share it with you.

Our Purpose
We are deeply passionate about entrepreneurship. It drives us to envision a future we refer to as ‘Evolved Capitalism,’ where the influence of large public companies and Wall Street over communities and countries diminishes, making room for flourishing small and medium-sized businesses. We believe in fostering a strong sense of connection between these enterprises, the people they employ, the customers they serve, and the communities they call home.
By embracing entrepreneurship, we aim to empower individuals who possess the vision and drive to shape a brighter future. Through their innovative ideas and dedication, entrepreneurs have the potential to transform the landscape of capitalism, creating a more inclusive and prosperous society. We champion their endeavors and recognize the immense impact they can have on the world.
Our commitment to supporting entrepreneurship stems from our belief in the inherent value of small and medium-sized businesses. We believe they possess the agility, creativity, and personal touch needed to forge meaningful relationships with their employees, customers, and local communities. By encouraging the growth of these enterprises, we can cultivate an economic environment that prioritizes collaboration, empathy, and sustainability.
Together, let us nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship and embrace a future where thriving small and medium-sized businesses shape the fabric of our society. Join us in our mission to foster ‘Evolved Capitalism,’ where the power of entrepreneurship paves the way for a more equitable and connected world.
