248: All Roads Can Lead to Profit

Today, I am excited to offer you a replay of an episode that I did back in 2018 with Mike Michaelowicz. You may know Mike, he is the author of a large number of books from Profit First to Clockwork to Surge, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur , and The Pumpkin Plan. Mike and I had a really awesome conversation about how all roads can lead to profit if you set the correct coordinates. I really thought that as we're wrapping up this year, things have been shifting, they're a little bit different, we've been through a pandemic, and we've watched buying patterns change over the years and I think this is a great time to be reminded of the fact that we have agency and choice in our business and that those choices that we're making either lead us closer towards profit or further away from profit. With that being said, I want to introduce to you Mike Michaelowicz.

Topics Mentioned:

• Profit

• Real revenue

• Sustainability and Responsibility

• Ideal Clients and Target Markets

Thoughts from Mike:

• Profit means that I continue to deliver what I intend to for my community.

• Clients want to know that your business is sustainable and sustainability is profitability.

• It is important to have a realignment of pride in profits.

• In The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur we learn that lack is our biggest advantage. Lack brings about innovative thinking and challenges us.

• In Pumpkin Plan we learn how to grow organically and healthily and to identify our best clients.

• Once we have clarity on a purpose, the journey becomes very rewarding.

• Surge teaches how to know your industry and to see what the next big thing is.

• Clockwork teaches that our business can be sustainable and not reliant just on us.
