About Mike
Growing up with a mother who worked concessions
in the Houston Astrodome, Mike Zatopek dreamed
of being a baseball player like those who
called the Dome home. And, he came close to
the big league brass ring before injuries
cut short one career and proved to be the
catalyst to a successful venture into the
world of commercial real estate.
Mike's business has taken on many guises:
full-scale office with co-workers, and partnerships
with like-minded others. But, in the end,
Mike finds his greatest business success going
solo...just like a batter facing a fire-balling
pitcher. He fails and succeeds by his own
doing. |

Mike Zatopek's Silver Story |

Let’s
face it, to run your own business,
you have to sell. While finding someone
to sell for you is a possibility,
the vast majority of successful entrepreneurs
are their best salesman. Why? Because
they believe in the product or service
and, most importantly, they believe
in themselves. Mike Zatopek was a
standout baseball player at the University
of Texas who saw his professional
career cut short by injury.

Mike's
Blog
A
former University of Texas baseball
standout, Mike draws comparisons between
his commercial real estate business
and digging in at the plate: you're
looking to make contact. Sometimes you
hit the home run, but more times than
not you don't get to first base. It's
the determined and steady endeavor that
makes for success and Mike will help
you understand how he deals with failures...and
successes.

Thursday, September 14, 2006--Character
and Integrity
All the clients and customers that I’ve
had, as far as what similar traits or
qualities that we might share, I think
the main thing for me has been, number
one, integrity, obviously. I refuse
to work with people that don’t
have it. It’s integral to my business
because I have a reputation and a standard
that I’ve set for myself here in
the Houston, Texas, market as well as
all over the country where I’ve
done business. So, that’s tantamount
to what I do and that has to be a common
denominator with the people I work with.
