Tropical MBA: Entrepreneurship & Founder Lifestyle
Business:Entrepreneurship
Dan interviews business author and entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz, delving into the transformative concepts from Mike's books — "Profit First," "The Pumpkin Plan," Clockwork", and more.
They explore the power of prioritizing profit and why most small businesses are often “crushed” by the owner. Mike discusses his concept of the Queen Bee Role and advocates for specialization to scale effectively.
Stick around as Mike reveals the three horsemen that keep businesses right on the brink of success, often never finding breakthrough.
