Mike Matejovic

I am Mike and I am a modern and fearless marketer and creative strategist specializing in personal brands.

I have an undeniable stack of success with over 20 years of experience creating, coaching and representing the most exciting and influential personal brands globally, from world famous professional athletes to MTV Music Award winning artists.

I empower brands to elevate their authority, establish powerful relationships and accelerate systematic growth through holistic communication approaches and social media presence. Previous to engaging in the world of brands I was teaching communication classes at UCLA, traveled to 80 different countries and ran marathons continuously improving my own time. Thanks to the wisdom of plant medicine on my own healing journey in Peru and Bali I arrived to my deeper understanding of the importance of authenticity and kindness in business. I love to actively create my life, explore the power of kindness, and, above all, to grow.

WHAT AM I TRULY CAPABLE OF?

I help people tell their stories. Stories that celebrate the human spirit and speak from the heart. I nurture talent and potential. I go deep. I show people their potential. My work is the combination of a coach, an enthusiast and a creative strategist specializing in personal brands with a positive influence.

I help people tell their stories. Stories that celebrate the human spirit and speak from the heart. I nurture talent and potential. I go deep. I show people their potential. My work is the combination of a coach, an enthusiast and a creative strategist specializing in personal brands with a positive influence.

I have experienced success without fulfillment in the past. Moving to Bali and stepping back from the spotlight allowed me to explore my limited perspective and untapped potential in new ways. I devoted my recent years to studying human nature, the ultimate values for success in business and the power of kindness in professional relationships. I started to deliver my best work yet and elevate other people’s personal and business journeys through mentoring or direct involvement in the journey of brands. With creating positive value and personal fulfillment being in the forefront.

My work

I had the privilege to be working very closely with many elite professional athletes, artists and entrepreneurs in Europe, Asia and United States designing communication strategies and developing their modern personal brands.

In those years I have been active in the field of business development, personal coaching, online marketing, reputation management, sponsorship deals, media purchasing, strategic partnerships, book publishing, merchandising and video production. It is not an overstatement to say that I have worked with the best and most influential personalities in their fields (business, sports, music) and designed their communication and marketing strategies to influence millions of people.

Throughout our friendship we’ve learned how much we share. His thinking and our common goals have led to creating my social media presence to explore together my untapped potential in the field of communication and positive influence where he has experience.

Michael has helped me realize the real value of my mission as an educator and sports professional, to the extent that my impact in our communities has been greater than ever this year. He is not only a great guide and support for our club and business, but he has also become my mentor and advisor and he has helped me in a personal level to become a stronger leader. His work ethics and dedication towards our projects have inspired us to work harder every day with great structure and we have achieved things we could only dream of in the past. The perspective he brings to the table is a great differentiator we were missing as club.

Approach

My work is idea-oriented, detail-oriented and supportive. In my approach I honor authenticity and rely on soft skills like self-awareness, optimism and kindness.

I inspire a new way to see yourself and your mission. I elevate your potential and I challenge you to be genuine and in integrity: who you really are and who you want to become for others to create value. I shape and influence my clients‘ perception of themselves drawing on principles of transparency and truthfulness to then delve into shaping their public perception. We navigate within your own strengths and values and bring them to the forefront in a useful, comprehensive and attractive manner. I design the communication style and tools to help your brand be understood, acknowledged and make a positive impact. I help your brand sync better with the audience, the community and the business environment. I accentuate your hidden value and identify significant opportunities in your industry. I make sure your most noble part shows up and help you show up drawing on the principles of discipline and focus.

Business principles​

I believe that doing business is an art, it is a creative expression and a way to positively impact and leave beautiful things behind. I believe that

  • how you make your money is more important than how much you make.
  • reputation is the ultimate currency.
  • giving is the ultimate getting.
  • success is the feeling of contribution.
  • leadership is not a rank or position to be attained. leadership is a service to be given.
  • relationships are the foundation of accomplishments.
  • the only true competitor is yourself.
  • we should teach only if we are willing to learn.

Mindset

I believe that Mindset and Beliefs are our greatest assets. Our privilege.

  • every decision in our life is controlled by our values and beliefs.
  • discipline shapes destiny.
  • our past does not define our future.
  • the power of taking responsibility for our own thoughts and actions is very strong.
  • every human being has the power to create beautiful things.
  • while on our journey of life, we are never finished.
  • we have control over our thoughts, emotions, time and energy.
  • we have infinite power to overcome any challenge.
  • only an authentic life lived in integrity can lead to real happiness.
  • sharing knowledge and experiences is important.
  • when your identity expands, your whole world expands.
  • it is our attitude towards life which shapes life’s attitude towards us.
  • what we know matters but who we are matters most.

"Nothing changes until we change our energy.
And when we change our energy, we change our life."
