Ep 11: Working Too Much And Profiting Too Little? I Interview My Favorite Author Mike Michalowicz

“You grow with focus and only after you achieve significant success do you expand out. The mistake most entrepreneurs do, is they expand out now and think that diversifying will bring them growth . No! It actually stunts growth.” – Mike Michalowicz

Have you started a company before? Did you struggle? Or, did you make so much money that your ego got the best of you and you spent every last dime?

Whether you’re just starting out or have been crushing it for years, don’t miss Mike’s invaluable approach to business. It might be the shot in the arm that you’ve been looking for.

If you’ve ever listened to a Mike Michalowicz podcast, you know that you’re going to walk away with a better mindset and stronger passion than ever before. That’s why we’re so excited to have the pleasure of having Mike on this episode of the CarrotCast. He’s one my favorite authors and business leaders.

He has founded and sold multi-million dollar companies. He has lost it all. Then started all over again by finding ways to build strong and healthy companies.

He’s also a very accomplished author. Penning bestsellers and cult-classics, Surge, Profit First, and The Pumpkin Plan.

I highly recommend all of these books. Not only to business entrepreneurs but anyone needing a help with the direction of life.

Check out how The Pumpkin Plan changed my life in a HUGE way. I’m talking life changing… not small potatoes here guys and gals.
