230: Mike Michalowicz - Profit First

Today's episode is life-changing and offers a specific plan to develop financial freedom in your life. One of the best ways to be creative and enjoy the process is not to have to live a life where you are working to pay your bills. I've learned that it's not that you're doing something wrong it's more about being taught a system that just doesn't work. Today you’re going to learn how to put profits first, and that means you!

By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies. Confident that he had the formula to success, he became an angel investor and proceeded to lose his entire fortune. He had to start all over again. Driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies Mike created the “Profit First Formula,” a way for businesses to ensure profitability from their very next deposit forward along with many other innovative strategies.

Mike is now running his third million dollar venture. He is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal, the former MSNBC business make-over expert and a popular keynote speaker on innovative entrepreneurial topics. Mike is the author of Surge, Profit First, The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, which BusinessWeek deemed “the entrepreneur’s cult classic.”
