Just a Regular Guy With a Story to Tell.
I’m Michael Petty.
A husband, father, grandfather, full-time worker, and family man who believes life is about more than simply going through the motions.
I’ve experienced good times, difficult times, setbacks, and blessings. Through it all, I’ve learned a few things worth sharing.
The Pettys Corner is where I share those experiences, my thoughts about life, motivation, faith, family, and whatever else happens to be on my mind.
Who Is Michael Petty?
I’m originally from Danville, Illinois, but Georgia has been home for many years now.
I started working when I was sixteen years old, and I’ve been employed with Publix since 1999.
Working has always been a major part of my life, but my family has always been one of my biggest reasons for doing what I do.
I’m a homebody for the most part. I enjoy being home, spending time with family, relaxing, and having a good conversation.
I’m also someone who likes to think. Sometimes I question things, look at situations from different perspectives, and find myself thinking about subjects that other people might overlook.
That’s another reason I created this website. It’s a place where I can express my thoughts and share my perspective without everything having to fit into one particular category.
What Matters Most to Me
My Reason Why
Being a husband, father, and grandfather comes with responsibilities, but it also gives me purpose.
Much of what I do is centered around taking care of my family and preparing for our future.
My Relationship With God
My faith is an important part of who I am.
I’m continuing to grow in my understanding of God and what it means to have a genuine relationship with Him.
Learning Through Life
I don’t believe we ever reach a point where we know everything.
Life continues to teach us through experience, reflection, and sometimes our own mistakes.
My Journey Hasn’t Always Been Easy
One of the most difficult periods of my life was dealing with kidney failure.
I spent approximately four years on dialysis. Anyone who has experienced dialysis, or supported someone going through it, understands how much it can affect everyday life.
It changed my routine, challenged me physically, and gave me a different perspective on things many people take for granted.
On October 11, 2023, I received a kidney transplant.
I’m grateful to God for that blessing and for the opportunity to continue living my life.
Going through difficult times doesn’t mean life stops moving. Sometimes those experiences change how you see life and what you consider important.
My experience didn’t magically remove every challenge in my life, but it did give me more reasons to appreciate the opportunities I have.
It’s part of my story, but it doesn’t define everything about me.
There’s More to Me Than Work
Like anyone else, I have different interests, opinions, and ways of looking at things.
Some days I’m thinking about family and life. Other days it’s business, faith, something motivational, or simply a subject that catches my attention.
Something to Think About
I enjoy sharing statements and perspectives that encourage people to think differently, recognize their potential, and take responsibility for their choices.
Different Perspectives
I enjoy conversations that make people think, question, and consider ideas they may not have thought about before.
Keeping It Real
Not everything needs to be a motivational speech or business lesson.
Sometimes life is just life, and those everyday moments can be worth talking about.
Always Building
I’m interested in improving my life and preparing for the years ahead.
That includes my health, finances, family, and personal growth.
Something I’ve Learned About Life
Life isn’t always going to work out the way you planned.
There will be times when things go your way and times when they don’t.
You may experience setbacks, frustration, disappointment, and circumstances you didn’t expect.
But your response to those situations can still make a difference in what happens next.
I’ve learned that I can’t control everything that happens, but I can continue learning, making decisions, and moving forward.
Go Do Something.
Yes, I’m Also Building an Online Business
Outside of my regular job, I’ve also spent years exploring ways to build additional income online.
I’ve learned quite a bit along the way, including what I would do differently and why understanding what you’re getting involved with matters.
Since January 2022, I’ve been involved with a digital business platform called Exitus Elite.
It’s something I continue working on alongside my full-time job and family responsibilities.
I don’t expect everyone who visits this website to be interested in online business. That’s perfectly fine.
But if you’re curious about what I’m building, you’re welcome to explore the information.
Interested in Exitus Elite?
If you’d like to learn about the online business I’m involved with, you can review the presentation and information about how the platform works.
There are costs and risks involved, and earnings are not guaranteed. Take your time and decide whether it fits your situation.
