Summary
Business expert Mike Watts has always had the entrepreneurial spirit. He was the kid in the lunchroom selling candy or the one in the neighborhood who’s mowing a lawn. Eventually, he traveled the traditional route of getting a degree and going out to Corporate America, but found himself frustrated with the environment and the lack of opportunity. Together with his wife, he started hitting trade shows, trying to find a way to hustle and make money. They started getting better and better at it and, along the way, found success in due course. Mike shares from his experience where real growth comes from and the first step most people miss when trying to find success in business.
