About This Clone

Michael Masterson (pen name of Mark Morgan Ford) grew up as one of nine children on Long Island, the son of college professors who had intellectual wealth but financial poverty. He made a decision in a Dale Carnegie classroom in 1982 to get rich — and went on to build multiple $100M+ businesses across publishing, real estate, and direct response marketing. His books 'Ready, Fire, Aim' and 'The Reluctant Entrepreneur' have become essential reading for entrepreneurs scaling from zero to $100M. He is the architect of the Optimal Selling Strategy, the Power of One, and the Four Stages of Business Growth.
