Michael Nova
Michael Nova's inspiring story has been featured on Entrepreneur.com, Fox News and many other publications.
He has developed a proven track record of overseeing multiple businesses & creative projects simultaneously. As president of Nova Music Productions, Inc., Michael was featured in the New York Times as a pioneer in helping independent music artists take control of their own careers to achieve success in the music industry.
Michael then created Nova Disc and Nova Custom Printing, divisions of the corporation that would focus on offering services to businesses exclusively. Over the years, Nova's clients has grown to include AMEX, NASA, BET, Google, L’Oreal, Halston, CBS-TV, J.P. Morgan Chase bank, The United Way, and many others.
Because the business was doing well, Michael found a calling to give back to the community. He co-founded Metrofly, a non-profit organization that hosted fundraising events for charity.
Then, with the intention of also making a difference through his work, Michael fully funded, wrote, directed edited and produced the film portion of the multimedia project, "X: The Human Condition" for Hypnotical Entertainment, while composing and co-producing the music. During production, Michael lost his eyesight due to illness, but manifested a miraculous recovery, inspiring people around the world with his story.
The project has received rave reviews globally, from Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia to North & South America. To date, the majority of all proceeds have been donated to charity.
Michael then founded the worldwide community website, RiseUpEight.org, with its mission to inspire people to overcome challenges in life. The website profiles every day people as well as celebrities overcoming adversity.
Today, Michael continues his work on Rise Up Eight while expanding Nova Custom Printing internationally.

Never look at adversity as the enemy, look at it as your ally.

It’s helpful to periodically take a bird’s-eye view of your business to make sure you’re continually heading in the right direction. Here’s the reason: You might miss something that could become a larger problem later if you’re always in the trenches. For instance, if you lose sight of your overall financial position, you might find yourself on the brink of bankruptcy.

What you focus in on becomes your reality. If you focus in on the problem and how it is affecting you and how it’s going to ruin your life, it’s hard to move forward. If you focus in on something good in your life, for a few minutes, you take a break from the problem. You are able to get those positive chemicals in your body flowing and you are able to clear your mind and regroup, which allows you to formulate a plan for overcoming whatever challenge you’re facing.
