Episode 19 Mike Michalowicz

Mike Michalowicz joins the show!
Author of Profit First, Pumpkin Plan, Clockwork, Fix This Next, All In—and more.
Mike wrote his first book back in 2008, but he landed on my radar closer to 2018 when Profit First shifted the way I thought about business. That book—and honestly, most of his others—should be required reading whether you’re running a business or managing a single job site.
Every project is a business in itself. If you don’t treat it like one—with structure, systems, and accountability—you might be delivering great-looking work while running a failing operation behind the scenes.
In this episode, we hit on several of Mike’s key concepts:
1. Profit First – Create margin first so you can build systems and hire support.
2. Pumpkin Plan – Identify your best clients and prune what no longer serves you.
3. Clockwork – Build repeatable systems so the business runs even when you're not on site.
4. Fix This Next – Diagnose what’s really broken before making your next move.
5. All In – Hire the right people to fit your business and your values.
It was an awesome conversation with a guy who’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs work on the business, not just in it. Enjoy the episode!
