There’s a saying that goes: “Everyone has a book in them.” And the reality is this is a true statement and it’s also true that less than 90% of the population ever start, much less finish writing a book. 

Mike Fallat is a best-selling author and founder of Dream Starters Publishing, helping entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and influencers write the one story they’ve all been waiting to write and don’t have time to finish in 30 days.

Today, Jeff and Mike talk about the journey of schooling and education that revealed there was more for Mike to accomplish in life. They share an affinity for hockey, the competitive nature of the sport which translates into a necessary tool to use to succeed in today’s business landscape.  Mike talks candidly about the importance of expanding your network by simply shaking hands, connecting, and continuing the journey of self-education. Jeff and Mike get really transparent and lay out the roadmap of how to create, build, and how there are no accidents or coincidences in the people we are pushed by the universe into meeting.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

“I am a best-selling author. I have something nobody else has. Wow! I can do something great with this. Then all of a sudden, people not only came to me to help them with entrepreneur stuff, but they said, “Hey, can you help me write a book?”  So here I was off and running all because of the universe was pushing me out of what I wasn’t supposed to do.”

How to Get Involved:

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. 

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions insurance agency on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
