Mike Wiesner has been in business for almost 30 years, yet he is only 45. "I like success," he grins. "Money is only one aspect. What I really enjoy is the thrill of business: The wonderful combination of strategic thinking, logic, and relationships. Most successful people can put all of this together, but it's easier said than done. You have to have good relationships with your customers and your employees, and you have to pay attention to detail."

Having just sold multi-million dollar Connecticut-based Heidi's Uniform Group, Mike, his wife, and three children have recently re-located in Israel. He commutes back and forth. Armed with more communication devices than NASA, this man seldom operates fewer than two companies at one time, takes note of his investments, has his nose in the financial pages, and still manages to be a very involved citizen/philanthropist, as well as husband/father. His secret for energy is simple: He loves what he does.

Born in small town Trumbull, Connecticut, Mike was not your typical kid, even though that's how his folks, Sid and Evelyn, raised his sister, Andrea, and him. In high school, he was ahead of his peers by as many as four years, taking his biology and psychology courses with college credits. Whether it was geographical proximity to New York, his uncle who had a business in junior fashions and novelties, his dad who was in retail and always wanted his own store, or whether it was just Mike, who can say?

But by the time he was a teenager, he was reading every financial paper he could lay his hands on, loved courses in economics—especially mergers & acquisitions—and at 16 when he ended up at the flea market, he thought that business was "pretty cool." His first attempt was visiting garage sales, buying up old stuff and re-selling it at the market. He saw what he could do, and he was just beginning.
