Ep 120: Mike Michalowicz – How To Profit Like Clock Work

In This Episode

I became a fan of Mike Michalowicz listening to the audiobook of Profit First.

It’s a great book that every entrepreneur should spend time with…

… but this episode is NOT about your finances.

My burning questions for Mike were about how he markets his books and services.

It’s a hot one! Here’s what we covered…

• [01:50] Michalo-whaaaa?! How Mike “Motorbike” transformed a weakness into his marketing superpower—and had fun doing it.

   

  
  
• [07:35] The call to action that knocked Kevin off his treadmill. Use Mike’s powerful arm-over-the-shoulder technique to pull distracted readers out of their world and back into yours.

   

  
  
• [11:50] Martyrdom doesn’t work. Find out how a little selfishness can be healthy for your business and make you a better person, too!

   

• [14:10] How flip-flopping your finances can take out the trash, pay the billz, and make you mo’ money. End backwards bottom-line thinking and do this instead.

   

• [17:10] Are your systems killing your business? Mike reveals why most systems put small businesses on life support and how “soccer-team” thinking can bring them back to life.

   

• [19:20] Avoid this “Dunkin’ Donuts” trap and get financially ripped. Why you’ll always try to circumvent the system. Plus, the easiest way to succeed despite yourself.

   

• [21:25] Made you look! Could peeking at your bank account be making you poor? Set your growth on autopilot with this “jet stream” banking secret instead.

   

• [22:50] The surprising secret of slow profits… An easy 1% change that blows away industry standards.

   

• [32:20] Washing bottles like a 10-armed Hindu goddess? Mike’s “4D Mix” reveals where you must focus your energy if you want your business to grow. (Hint: Leave the bottles for somebody else!)

   

• [34:27] PLUS – How backing a bad decision may be the best decision Mike ever made!
