About Mike Michalowicz:
“I am an author targeted toward small business books and how to grow them to be successful and competitive in market. I challenge all the beliefs that are out there about growing a business and study other businesses to find the current formula for success.
After selling my second company I thought I knew the formula to success and became full of myself. I decided to become an angel investor, took my own money and started 10 companies and threw money at these businesses believing that the only thing that mattered was my involvement. This ended up being a train wreck and caused me to lose basically every penny I put in it. The day I lost my last penny became a defining moment for me and the realization that what I thought was the formula to success was in fact wrong. I thought that profit was an event and I became to realize that profit is not an event, it’s a habit.” – Mike Michalowicz
