#Eps 71: Know What to Fix Next and Transform Your Business


Listen Later

My friend, after 10 years of being in business what I find so fascinating, is this desire to still understand exactly what my business needs next.​


And you'd think that I'd have it all figured out by the stage, but I'm letting you know that I don't.


In fact, I actually just hired somebody to just sit down for three hours with me and go through my entire business plan, my priorities, what's important to me and what's been working for me.


I literally paid somebody to hold me accountable to talk through this because I knew that all the next steps were there.​


And that's what this week's podcast guest Mike Michalowicz is talking about today, that the biggest challenge we face as entrepreneurs, is actually knowing what our biggest challenge is.​


And as a result, most businesses stay stuck in a pattern of two steps forward and three steps back.​


Mike has built four multiple million-dollar companies and sold two of them one to private equity and another to a fortune 500 all before his 35th birthday​.


But it wasn't an easy ride.


He lost his house once he lost his entire fortune twice. He launched 10, failed businesses and experienced years of depression.​


He's a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal, and business makeover specialist on MSNBC, with a mission to eradicate entrepreneurial poverty.


And now he's launched his new book 'Fix This Next' and it is so timely for us entrepreneurs who are probably doing so many of the right things, but we're spinning our wheels or not moving past any 'stuckness' or a certain level of profitability, or goodness in our business.​


I want you to dive right in, and absorb the goodness that Mike is offering because he doesn't often do podcast interviews, and this one doesn't disappoint!


In this Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How to understand what your business needs next 
  • How to know what your biggest challenge in business really is
  • How to transform your business from a cash eating monster to a profit-making machine
