#17: Mike Michalowicz On Losing Everything, Selling Your Business & Profit First

Mike Michalowicz, the author of Profit First, The Pumpkin Plan, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur & Fix This next, had founded and sold two multimillion-dollar companies.

Knowing that now, he could do anything, he became an angel investor (the type who buys a Range Rover, BMW & Dodge Viper on the same day!).

Only to realize that after 2 years he had lost all of his money and maybe… he didn’t know THAT much about business after all.

After another 2 years of depression, self-hatred and doubt he rebuilt himself as well as his business skills by taking complex & boring but crucial topics for the survival & thriving of businesses and made them not only simple and practical, but also entertaining.

I personally recommend his books without hesitation to friends and will encourage anyone to pick up a copy.

Here we discuss:

The importance of knowing your numbers, profiting first and making business simple

How he lost all his money after selling two multimillion-dollar businesses, how he rebuilt himself and what role journaling played in that

Getting too confident with your first successes, only to be humbled later on

How to prepare to sell your business for its maximum value

How to figure out what to focus on next by knowing what the most important thing for your business is right now
