Our guest today is not only a listener favorite, but he was also the very first guest on the Profit By Design podcast!

Mike Michalowicz (pronounced mi-CAL-oh-witz) is the entrepreneur behind three multi-million dollar companies and is the author of Get Different, Profit First, Clockwork, The Pumpkin Plan, and Fix This Next. He is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal and regularly travels the globe as an entrepreneurial advocate.

In this episode, listen in as Mike discusses his newly-released book, Get Different. 

We also get to pick his brain about how he writes his books, how he chooses his topics, and how the books he writes really manages to capture the attention of entrepreneurs. It is always a lively conversation with Mike!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.

• The importance of affirmations.
