Mike Michalowicz hosts a podcast about the messy reality of building a business from nothing. He started with a $700 pickup truck and faced constant rejection. The show features raw stories of entrepreneurs who burned down failed ventures and rebuilt them better.
The biggest names in business didn't start out that way. Becoming self made is always happening. You never arrive. You just continue the journey. It started with $700 in a beat up old pickup truck. We get rejected every step of the way. We still get rejected. Doesn't that hurt? Oh yeah. Behind any success story is a trail of trials and tribulations, lessons learned and realities faced. It was very important for me to have my dreams crushed to detach my ego from my ability.
My biggest, proudest moment is the moment I woke up and said, I will burn it down because I knew I could build it back better.
Love that. I'm Mike Malowitz, entrepreneur and author of Profit First. I know from personal experience just what it takes to turn a business idea into a brick and mortar reality and how that experience can change you. Because success isn't just what you build, it's who you become. Tune in for the real, unfiltered stories behind business success. How entrepreneurs who started small built something extraordinary. This is Becoming Self Made. A podcast from Relay.
