Mike Michalowicz opens Profit First Global Conference 2015 with attendees sharing how the Profit First methodology transformed their businesses. Participants write wishes on a wall for others to fulfill, showing the community built around the system.
I'm Mike Michalowicz, the co-founder of Profit First Professionals, and we are right now at Profit First Global Con 2015. I have one question: why aren't you here? Today is going to be amazing!
Love you. Oh my God! We'll get into, you know, the balloon fanatic thing.
Gold star for Jill over there.
So I became the Profit First professional before I think the actual organization really kind of took hold. So I've followed from the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur to the Pumpkin Plan, and then I got a first draft copy of Profit First, read through it, typos and all, and thought that it was absolutely brilliant, very simple, and I immediately and immediately put it into play at my company, Office Heads.
I read the Profit First book and I knew I had to become a part of this organization. I had so many clients that could benefit from the Profit First methodology and I knew I could as well. So I contacted them immediately when I finished the book. Like, I finished it at midnight and I was sending the email that night saying I want to be a part of this.
Mike articulates it in such a way that— I mean, I've been trying to teach my clients to take their profit first for years, but it was just such a simple way to do it.
It's such a simple program to use that I knew my colleagues in the event industry would totally benefit from it. So there was no doubt in my mind that introducing them to it would take them to the next level, and everybody that I've talked to has just been kind of like, "Wow!" So this is our wishing wall, and the whole idea behind this is people have wishes, wishes that they make, and then wishes that can be granted.
I mean, imagine it, you're at this conference right now yourself, and you want someone to grant a wish. Maybe you want a new client, maybe you want to target a new community, a new area. Well, someone in this This room somewhere can answer that wish for you. This is how we're doing it.
We built this whole wall.
You put your name, you write your wish down, and then someone grants it.
Boom!
That's how wishes are done.
Profit First headquarters, Mike and Ron and Erin, have given me such great advice on how to— things that I knew, but I just wasn't bringing forward. I wish I found them 5 years ago.
We're excited, very excited to be partnering with Mike's Profit First.
Yay!
We're just awesome. I mean, this is an awesome event thus far.
Today, Profit First. 3, 2, 1! Mush! Brahmin!
