“The biggest challenge business owners have is knowing what their biggest challenge is, so that became the thesis of the book. How do we figure out what our business really needs from us next?” - Mike Michalowicz

Whether you have a large or small business, often you can face times where you’re not scaling as quickly as you’d like. However It can be tricky to know what the main problem or problems could be, which is why I am so excited to have today’s Finding Brave expert on the show today to share his powerful knowledge of this issue.

Mike Michalowicz is the author of Profit First, Clockwork, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan, and his newest release Fix This Next. By his 35th birthday, Mike had founded and sold two companies - one to private equity and another to a Fortune 500. Today he is running his third multi-million dollar venture, Profit First Professionals.

Mike is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal and the former business makeover specialist on MSNBC. Over the years, Mike has traveled the globe speaking with thousands of entrepreneurs, and is here today to share the best of what he has learned.

In this episode, Mike reveals the importance of knowing and relying on what he refers to as a “business hierarchy of needs,” especially during challenging times, to identify the hidden problems in your business. Mike shares his simple yet very impactful framework for gaining clarity on what to fix next, as well as bringing it to a successful conclusion.

Every time I interview Mike, I learn something truly instrumental to apply to my own business growth and I believe you will too.
