By his 35th birthday Mike 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.

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