“I officially opened the doors of (R)Evolution on July 5, 2021, and have been lucky enough to thrive since.

Overcoming Challenges:
Mike has faced numerous challenges in his journey as a business owner. His approach to overcoming these obstacles involved a deep commitment to the business, often at the expense of personal relationships.
“I have learned a lot of hard lessons over the years. Becoming a business owner has both been the hardest and most fulfilling happening I have encountered in my lifetime. You have to be committed to the business. The majority of time, focus, thought, is spent on and at the office. Relationships can and do suffer, but it was something I was meant to do.”
Balancing Life and Work:
Initially, there was no work-life balance for Mike; his focus was solely on (R)Evolution MedSpa. After a demanding but fulfilling three-year pledge, culminating in December 2023, Mike has learned to achieve a better balance. He now steps away from work to rejuvenate and enjoys life, returning to the office reinvigorated.
“When I first began (R)Evolution, there was no such thing as work-life balance. There was (R)Evolution. I went into this endeavor with a three-year plan in mind. The first three years were going to be dedicated to this business, and that is exactly how it has developed. The three-year pledge culminated in December of 2023. It was a tough, but extremely fulfilling time. I pushed myself, and loved ones, to the limit; thankfully, it was all well worth it. The universe works in mysterious ways, and demonstrated to me that I had to adhere to this pledge and reclaim some balance in my life. I suffered some very close personal losses last year, and it became more than apparent to me that one can run a successful business, and also have a fulfilling personal life. Have I achieved this balance completely? No, not as of yet, but I am trying. Now, I am to the point where I am not anxious and thinking about the business when I step away for some time off. I am finally able to flip the switch off and enjoy life away for a period of time. Coming back to the office, rejuvenated and reinvigorated. It feels good. I highly recommend it.”
Future Plans:
(R)Evolution MedSpa will continue to innovate, offering the newest, safest technologies and techniques. Clients can look forward to the most natural, superior outcomes as the company builds on its achievements.
“We will continue to innovate and offer the newest, safest technology and techniques, and the most natural, superior outcomes.”
