Today’s guest is the entrepreneur behind 3 multi-million dollar companies, having founded and sold two of them before reaching his 35th birthday. He is a former small business journalist for The Wall Street Journal, and he is the author of “Profit First,” “The Pumpkin Plan,” and “The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur,” which BusinessWeek deemed “the entrepreneur’s cult classic.” His books have been translated into over 10 different languages. A popular keynote speaker, he travels the globe as an entrepreneurial advocate, is an active partner in multiple companies, including an American manufacturer, a business growth consultancy, an augmented reality tech firm, and a certification organization for accountants, bookkeepers, and business coaching. He also created the Profit First Formula, a way for businesses large and small to ensure profitability from their very next deposit forward. Please join me in welcoming Mike Michalowicz. In this episode we discuss: his thoughts on leadership: “leadership is about reciprocity. It is truly about the fact that we will get out of others what we put into others.” how he believes everyone can be a leader and that they just need to embrace who they actually are and lean into it. how humor and being the class clown grew him into the successful author he is. his journey from writing a book with no sales on the launch day, to an author whose book was named the “entrepreneurs cult classic” by BusinessWeek. his methods for maintaining connections with his readers and fellow authors and colleagues. how he works to create diversity among people who serve his core listeners.
