We welcome back bestselling author and entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz, whose books have tackled nearly every corner of entrepreneurship, from profitability in the bestselling Profit First, to building a business that can run without you in Clockwork, to standing out in a crowded market with Get Different. After building and selling two multimillion-dollar businesses, Mike turned those experiences into practical systems that entrepreneurs around the world have put to work. Now, for his third appearance on Before the Bestseller, he joins us to talk about his newest book, The Money Habit, and why the way we behave with money may matter just as much as how much we earn.
Mike gets personal about becoming a self-made millionaire, losing it all, falling roughly $300,000 into debt, and the systems that eventually helped him climb back out. We talk about why earning more money doesn’t necessarily solve money problems, how small wins can change financial behavior, the hidden cost of subscriptions and credit cards, and why your bank account may be a better tool than another budgeting app. Mike also walks us through the six accounts behind The Money Habit, the four financial seasons, and how a simple system can make money easier to manage, especially when you’re managing it with a partner.
For anyone who has avoided looking at their numbers, struggled to stick with a budget, or simply wants to make managing money feel less complicated, this conversation offers a different way to think about it. Listen to the episode and hear how Mike built The Money Habit around the way people actually behave with money.
