The discussion takes a deep dive into the desire for business growth, where Mike addresses the common misconception that every company yearns to expand. He sheds light on the fact that some entrepreneurs prefer maintaining small, family-oriented businesses, challenging the conventional narrative.
Mike emphasizes the significance of meticulous planning in achieving business goals, drawing parallels between a successful journey and a well-planned road trip. He stresses the importance of a comprehensive business strategy, a robust sales and marketing plan, and a meticulous financial forecast to navigate the intricate path to growth.
The conversation shifts towards helping companies secure investors, where Mike unravels the key metrics investors look for.

Matt and Mike also touch upon the commonality of entrepreneurs seeking the path of least resistance, favoring stable jobs over entrepreneurship. They delve into the entrepreneurial mindset, where self-motivation and a desire for independence separate the few who embark on the entrepreneurial journey from the many who opt for the security of traditional employment.
Throughout the podcast, Mike's purpose becomes evident — to make the world a better place for his son. He envisions achieving this by helping small to medium-sized businesses thrive, create job opportunities, and foster economic stability and sustainability.
