Mike Michalowicz, the author of Clockwork, explains why the pursuit of productivity is ultimately a trap that holds businesses down. He shares a method, used by bee colonies, that enables businesses to grow quickly and nearly effortlessly. By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ 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.
Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Among other innovative strategies, Mike created the “Profit First Formula”, a way for businesses to ensure profitability from their very next deposit forward.
Mike is now running his third million dollar venture, is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal; is the former MSNBC 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 BusinessWeek deemed “the entrepreneur’s cult classic.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
