How do we figure out what our business really needs from us next?” - Mike Michalowicz Whether you have a large or small business, often you can face times where you’re not scaling as quickly as you’d like. However It can be tricky to know what the main problem or problems could be, which is why I am so excited to have today’s Finding Brave expert on the show today to share his powerful knowledge of this issue. Mike Michalowicz is the author of Profit First, Clockwork, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan, and his newest release Fix This Next.

Today he is running his third multi-million dollar venture, Profit First Professionals.

Over the years, Mike has traveled the globe speaking with thousands of entrepreneurs, and is here today to share the best of what he has learned. In this episode, Mike reveals the importance of knowing and relying on what he refers to as a “business hierarchy of needs,” especially during challenging times, to identify the hidden problems in your business. Mike shares his simple yet very impactful framework for gaining clarity on what to fix next, as well as bringing it to a successful conclusion.
