Mike Fish’s Story
Mike Fish, the Founder of Sound Life Education
My name is Mike Fish and I am the founder of Sound Life Education. I have been investing in real estate for 12 years and I have been helping people do the same for just as long. Over this period of time, I came a cross many individuals and families that were interested in owning their own homes but they weren’t sure how to make that happen for themselves. Helping people has always been important to me so when I saw this road block happening time and time again, I made it my personal goal to collect the information those people needed and help them use that information to get into their new home. This has been such a rewarding experience. With the economic crisis facing the world today, I felt like it was time to reach out to individuals and families all over the United States. I am so excited to finally be bringing this type of information for success to everyone who is ready to make their lives everything they’ve ever wanted it to be.
In the Beginning
Throughout my life, I have always had the desire to accomplish great things. I had many ideas and dreams but in my experiences, I quickly found that no one was willing to take the time to help me so I set out in life knowing that I was on my own and that failure was not an option.
In the 80’s I started a life with my first wife, which produced two beautiful girls. I helped her through college, working at a gas station everyday just to afford her tuition. The day before my first daughter was born was when my first challenge appeared–I broke both of my legs. My wife was fresh out of the hospital after giving birth and I was in two full leg casts. Neither of us were able to work at that time and ninety days later, we lost our home.
I relocated to Arizona hoping to rebuild the life I had lost. After a couple of years there, things were going well so I planned to move back home to California. All of my relocation plans were complete but when I got to the place I had rented over the phone it was a dump. My first two jobs there didn’t work out and again, I found myself with no place to live and no work, this time with two young children to care for. At this point, I had to sit down and make a new plan. I decided to work a couple more bad jobs but three months later, I leveraged the little money I had to purchase my very first business. I was twenty-seven years old.
Finally, things were going well in my life. I had a six bay auto service that was bringing in $300,000 a year. That allowed my wife and I to have a beautiful home, company cars and provide a wonderful life for our children…in short, we were on top of our world. In early 1991, I looked to expand my business but was surprised to find that I was losing the one I had. My wife had a substance abuse problem that eventually led to my divorce and the loss of my business and home. I became the single parent of two girls, living in a camper on the back of a pickup truck. For six months, this is the way we lived, parked in Grandma’s front driveway.
Starting Over
I eventually got on food stamps, welfare and moved into a small apartment back in Phoenix, Arizona and we lived there for a year. I decided not to work because I didn’t want to leave my children since their mother already had. But after a year I realized that it was time to start building my life back as this is the only life I have. I set out to find a new job. Fletcher’s Cobra Tire hired me to work six days a week while caring for my children and doing laundry on the one day off I had each week. Sometimes I wondered what I had gotten myself into.
One day, when things were at their worst, it was as though my children could tell. Even though they were young and small, they stepped up and started helping Dad make our life better. That was when I knew we would make it. I pushed forward with Cobra Tire to eventually become a manager.
I had no idea the extent of the damage of my divorce until I did my first tax return. I had tax liens and defaults that I thought had been resolved prior to my divorce. The penalties and interest that accrued turned into something I had no idea to take care of. Knowing that I couldn’t sweep this under the rug, I began again to repair my life and this time, I knew I wouldn’t let anything stop me. And I didn’t.

 Phil Castle, National Job Service Representativepcastle@soundlifeeducation.com 1-877-397-2220 Phil Castle has joined the Sound Life Education team as National Job Service Placement Representative. Phil brings many years of business management experience to his position with SLE. As owner operator of PC Networks Systems Provider, L.L.C. since January of 2000 he has demonstrated top level management skills that carry over into all business management arenas. Phil shares many of the same visions and goals that has made him successful in business, with SLE and will be a driving force in the real estate investment industry. Phil started his business in satellite internet and satellite TV, computer networking, Fiber Optics, and computer sales/service. As the business began to grow Phil Castle saw the need to expand into the communications arena as it is a natural fit for the vision, goals, and the growth of the company. Realizing that just knowing the trade would not secure contracts Mr. Castle set forth to combine all of his experience and secure training with certification in those areas of expertise. Combining key certifications such as Commercial/Residential K-67 Low Voltage Communication Systems; Microsoft Certified Professional; and Fiber Optics/Network Engineering has been very successful in the manufacturing of Emergency Vehicles; Command Vehicles; and First Responders. It has become very important that complete and total communications, for command vehicles, are available as backup connections for internet and telephone in very remote areas. Satellite internet is now playing a major role for this type of connection. Phil has been steering his company to fulfill this need. As technology changes satellite will no longer be the backup system but the front runner for getting the job done. |
