Are you ready to increase your financial health, empower your team, and create work from your soul? If you believe money is a form of freedom, but is not the end game, then this episode is for you.
In episode 139 of the Lead with Love podcast, I get cozy with Mike Michalowicz who is the entrepreneur behind three multimillion dollar companies, which he launched before his 35th birthday. Mike sold his first company to private equity and his second firm to a Fortune 500.
He’s the author of Clockwork, Profit First, and many more. Mike is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal and the former business makeover specialist on MSNBC. He’s on a mission to eradicate entrepreneurial poverty, so you don’t want to miss this conversation.
“When someone really loves their business, that’s what I consider the ultimate wealth.”
