WHY MIKE WROTE GRIND

Mike felt like there was a void in the world of entrepreneurial books. He saw that most business books were written by academics or uber-successful entrepreneurs. Mike wanted to write a book from the point of view of someone in the trenches, and points out that there are fundamental attitudes and perspectives that are critical to being successful.

WHY PEOPLE NEED TO BUY INTO YOUR VISION

Mike doesn鈥檛 believe your objective should be to get the room to align with your vision; the objective is to get the group to contribute to a vision that everyone buys into. Business leaders need to understand and recognize that they won鈥檛 always have the answer and that鈥檚 okay. You can build a team of people who know the answers that you don鈥檛.

THE POWER OF KNOWING WHO YOU ARE

If you鈥檙e in a room trying to figure out who you鈥檙e supposed to be, you鈥檙e wasting your energy. Most people show up with an understanding that they need to 鈥渂e鈥 something. Instead, why not give all of your energy to what you鈥檙e trying to do? Leaders should create an environment where people don鈥檛 need to try to solve the puzzle of who they鈥檙e supposed to be.

FROM MINIMUM WAGE TO SUCCESSFUL CEO

Mike has always been inspired by the act of visualization. He believes the most powerful thing anyone can learn to do is create a vision for their future and make it a reality. He doggedly pursued his goals but he also believes that a lot of people give up too soon. If you stay focused and engaged, you鈥檙e more likely to reach the top.
