This is Tereo Media.

Hello, I'm Mad Terreel of the Epic Real Estate Investing show and this is Thought Leader Thursday. Today I'm joined by a very successful entrepreneur who by his 35th birthday had founded and sold two

multimillion dollar companies, confident that he had the formula to success,

he became an angel investor and proceeded to lose his entire fortune.

And then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy strong companies

among other innovative strategies he created the profit first formula a way for

businesses to ensure profitability from their very next deposit and forward.

And he is now running his third million dollar venture.

The former AmS NBC business makeover expert is a popular keynote speaker on innovative entrepreneurial topics and is the

author of Profit First, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan, and the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, which Business Week

deemed the Entreprene cult classic.

Such a difficult word for me.

I've said it so many times and entrepreneurs still doesn't roll off the tongue

very well. But please help me welcome to epic real estate investing Mr Mike Mikkalowitz. Mike welcome to the show.

Thank you Matt so much for having me on your show. I appreciate it. Well I'm really

excited to have you on the show as of all the books that I've read so I've read it a lot over the years

There are really just a handful that have created significant and I would say lasting change and your book Prophet First is probably the most recent

it's among my top five I would certainly say so thank you for writing it.

Oh thank you for saying that I think it was an important message to get out, mostly for myself initially.

That's why I wrote the book to fix my own businesses and I'm just thrilled by the number of people it's impacting.

It's actually, this is my life's mission is to

help entrepreneurs I just love hearing that feedback thank you you you bet you
