Meet Michael Hofer, a visionary in mergers and acquisitions who turned his blog into a thriving business—while still working as a full-time CFO at a billion-dollar company.
For years, Michael dreamed of expanding his blog into a business that could truly transform how companies approach mergers and acquisitions (M&A). But he wasn’t sure how to take the next step—until he joined Mastermind. With the guidance of Dean, the Mastermind system, and GG, he gained the clarity and momentum to turn his vision into reality.
“The push and the clarity I needed to step from just blogging to building an actual business was huge. And now, in just a few months, I’ve seen the magic happen.”
Michael has accomplished an extraordinary amount in a short time:
✅ Created coaching and consulting offers
✅ Recorded three on-demand online classes
✅ Launched a weekly podcast, Scale Up
✅ Built a thriving community, M&A Pals
✅ Established a dedicated LinkedIn company page for By Michael Hoffer
✅ Launched live webinars and an email series to promote his classes
✅ Created multiple videos for his website to showcase his expertise
And one of the most exciting developments? Virtual Michael, a personalized AI assistant trained with Michael’s M&A books and methodologies, designed to help businesses navigate the complexities of mergers and acquisitions.
“The goal is to make my personal brand synonymous with M&A. When people think M&A, I want them to think of Michael Hoffer.”
That goal is quickly becoming a reality. Michael has already signed consulting clients, been approached by investment banks for partnerships, and is being recognized on LinkedIn as “The M&A Guy.” His book, Demystifying Mergers and Acquisitions, is thriving on Amazon, and professionals are now seeking his guidance for their own M&A deals.
And here’s the most remarkable part—he’s doing all of this at 5AM and on weekends, while still serving as a full-time CFO.
“Mastermind, Dean, and GG have been such an important part of this journey, giving me the tools, mindset, and confidence to make this all happen. And this is just the beginning.”
Michael, your story is a testament to what’s possible when clarity, strategy, and relentless action come together. Thank you for sharing your journey, and we can’t wait to see how you continue to grow!
