Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Michalowicz

Rising inflation has turned everyday expenses into a constant source of stress, leaving millions of people stuck living paycheck to paycheck and wondering if they'll ever feel truly "okay" with money. While traditional budgeting plans promise control, they often deliver guilt and overwhelm instead. That's why I'm excited to be joined by Mike Michalowicz, bestselling author of 11 financial books, including the mega-bestseller Profit First, to talk about his newest book, The Money Habit: The Worry-Free Way to Financial Independence. Mike's helped over a million people build real financial peace, and in this conversation, he breaks down what "financial independence" actually means and why the "financial freedom" fantasy can leave you feeling disappointed. We talk about why most people are naturally wired to spend their paycheck fast (and the surprising behavioral science behind it), why budgeting fails for so many people, and the simple "behavioral intercept" that makes managing money feel almost automatic. Mike walks through his foundational account system—how to split your money into clear, purpose-driven buckets so you always know what you can spend, what you're saving, and what's already protected. And make sure you listen until the end, because Mike explains how to get started even if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck or drowning in credit card debt that instantly creates clarity, control, and momentum without requiring you to become a "money person" overnight.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Money Habit For Financial Independence "Never Worry" (About Managing Money) Why These Methods Work for Anyone Making More Money Doesn't Solve Problems Why We're Wired To Spend Paychecks The Six Foundational Bank Accounts A Tip For Your Mini-Luxury Account Why Budgeting Fails Most People How To Get Started If You're Broke Tips for Tackling Debt Issues How to Address Your Biggest Financial Concerns Where To Get Mike's New Book, The Money Habit Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/623 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Things are suddenly moving fast at Sarah Segal's San Francisco PR firm. Several new clients look likely to sign on, and for the first time in a while, growth feels real. Which leaves Sarah with a familiar, nerve-racking question: Do you hire before the work arrives—or wait until the revenue is actually in the door? If she hires now, she may have to cut her own pay until the new business materializes. And there's no guarantee it will. She still remembers the last downturn, when she had to lay off people she cared about—and she's determined not to repeat that experience. But if she waits and the clients do sign, she risks something else: overloading her existing team, burning people out, and falling behind before she can recruit and train new hires. The pressure is even higher because Sarah has already set an aggressive revenue goal for 2026.Plus: Jaci Russo explains why she's adopted a different approach to planning and budgeting. Instead of guessing how much she can afford to spend, Jaci is changing the order of the math. After revisiting Mike Michalowicz's Profit First—prompted by a story highlighted in the 21 Hats Morning Report—she's begun setting profit targets first and forcing every other decision, including hiring, to fit around them. It's only been a few weeks, but Jaci says the shift is already changing how she thinks about risk, growth, and what she can actually afford.

I was exposed to business numbers long before I ever owned a business. Profit & Loss statements, sales trends, inventory, expenses, just to name a few. These were normal conversations in my world growing up. And when I became a small business owner, that knowledge became my secret weapon. But as I started meeting other small business owners, I realized something big: they WANTED to understand their numbers… they just didn't know where to start. Today, I share my journey with the P&L and why it quickly became my #1 tool for growing a profitable business. The truth is, small business P&Ls aren't that different from big business P&Ls and small businesses have far more in common than you'd ever imagine. No matter what size your business is, your Profit & Loss statement is the key to understanding your money, increasing your profits, and making smarter decisions. Let's make the P&L your new superpower.   -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS

If you've ever fallen behind on paying your employees or the people who help you, it's time for a hard truth: you made a commitment, and not paying them damages trust, morale, and your reputation as a leader. You'd never accept a customer refusing to pay YOU — so why are you doing it in your own business? Two biggest reasons this happens: poor pricing and ongoing debt that drains every dollar before it reaches your team. You need to stop the financial bleeding, pay your people moving forward, and create a plan to make up any back pay. And when a big job comes in? That money needs to fix the business first, not line your own pockets. Strong businesses take care of their people. Let's get you back on track.   -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS

Most business owners say they have goals… but what they really have is a fuzzy wish list. "I want to grow," "I want more profit," "I want more customers". However, many do not have a clear plan. And if not tied to actual business numbers, those goals go nowhere. Today, we break down how to turn big dreams into real results. You'll learn how to set at least one long-term goal, break it into monthly, weekly, and daily steps, and use your business numbers to guide your decisions. Because "just showing up" isn't a strategy. However, taking consistent, concrete action is what moves the needle and grows your profits. Let's make your goals actually happen. -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS

Most small business owners grind day after day… and still have no idea what their real numbers are. They "guess" what their sales are, hope their profits are there, and then wonder why every year feels the same. Today, we break down why knowing your numbers is the key to breaking the cycle. You'll learn how simple the formula really is Sales – COGS – Expenses = Profit and how it connects directly to your Profit & Loss report. Once you understand the flow of money through your business, you can finally stop repeating the same year over and over and start making smarter, more profitable decisions. Tons of sales mean nothing if there's no profit. Make this the year you learn your numbers and drive those profits up!  -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS

The fastest way to figure out what people want is by asking the right clients the right questions.Today, Mike Warkentin sits down with gym owner Toni Roy of Breathe CrossFit to break down how the Pumpkin Plan transformed her business.Following the steps, Toni created a list of clients who bring her the most joy and a second list with her highest-value clients. Typically, a gym owner circles the clients on both lists to ID the members they want to replicate. In Toni's case, the groups had zero overlap. This insight pushed her to rethink her offerings and create a hybrid membership built around CrossFit, personal training and nutrition—a combo that delivers better results for clients and boosts average revenue per member.Now, regular Goal Review Sessions allow her to continue the conversation: She can catch problems early, celebrate successes and upgrade prescriptions to serve clients better. Toni also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the new-moms group she developed with her Two-Brain mentor. The support-centered program is already turning into a relationship-building referral funnel.

The Money Habit on How to Finally Take Control of Your Finances   What if your biggest money problem isn't how much you earn—but how you manage what you already have?   In this week's episode of Richer Soul, bestselling author Mike Michalowicz (Profit First, Clockwork, All In) returns to share insights from his new book, The Money Habit. It's a simple, behavior-based approach to mastering personal finances—no spreadsheets, guilt, or complicated budgets required.   Key Insights from the Conversation:  Making Money Is One Skill—Keeping It Is Another. Most people learn how to earn but never master how to keep money. Mike reminds us that wealth isn't built by income alone—it's built by intentional systems that preserve and direct your money before it slips away. Financial Independence vs. Financial Freedom. Financial freedom is doing what you want, when you want, without worrying about money. Financial independence means having authority over your money—so it no longer controls you. That authority starts with awareness. How Credit Cards and "Points" Hack Our Brains. Credit cards are engineered to make you spend more. Points and perks are psychological triggers that override rational decision-making. Mike shows how to flip the script by setting up commitment devices—systems that protect you from yourself. Build Your Money "Envelopes" at the Bank. Instead of one big account, divide your money into clear purposes—needs, wants, dreams, and slush funds. Label debit cards for each category. When you spend, you'll instantly see whether you're honoring your priorities or drifting off course. Teach by Example. Your kids don't learn about money from what you say—they learn from what you do. Modeling calm, structure, and intentional spending plants lifelong financial wisdom in the next generation.   Money Learning from Mike: We often think more money will solve our problems. It won't. The real transformation happens when we gain authority over what we already have. Whether you earn $50,000 or $500,000 a year, financial independence starts by giving every dollar a job before it leaves your account.   Key Takeaway: Financial peace isn't found in making more—it's found in mastering what you already have. Start small: create one new account for your biggest money worry today, label it clearly, and fund it consistently. Small actions, done repeatedly, become lifelong habits.   Bio: Mike Michalowicz (my-CAL-o-wits) is the entrepreneur behind four multi-million-dollar companies and the author of bestselling business books including Profit First, Clockwork, The Pumpkin Plan, and All In. His newest book, The Money Habit, is a groundbreaking approach to personal finance. The television host of The 4 Minute Money Maker and a former columnist for The Wall Street Journal, Mike now travels the world helping individuals grow thriving businesses and live richer lives.   Links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MikeMichalowiczFanPage/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikemichalowicz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemichalowicz/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/mikemichalowiczofficial TikTok: Mike Michalowicz https://dontwritethatbookpodcast.com/ https://mikemichalowicz.com/mikespodcast/ https://substack.com/@mikemichalowicz?utm_source=user-menu   Hear the full conversation with Mike Michalowicz on the Richer Soul podcast — where we explore the systems and mindsets that help you live richer in every area of life.   #TheMoneyHabit #MikeMichalowicz #ProfitFirst #FinancialIndependence #WealthBuilding #MoneyMindset #RicherSoulPodcast #RockyLalvani   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Most small business owners don't think about retained earnings until they desperately need them. Retained earnings are your business's safety net, growth fund, and stress reducer all rolled into one. Let's break down why retained earnings matter and how they help you prepare for upcoming purchases, cover payroll, reinvest in your business, avoid late fees, and keep your cash flow steady. When you build retained earnings, you build stability. When you ignore them, every surprise becomes a crisis. Let's talk about how to finally get ahead instead of constantly catching up. -----------------------------   CONTACT ME:

You'll learn how to focus on the right sales, make smarter decisions, and build a business that puts real money in your pocket. Because at the end of the day… sales are fun, but profit is freedom. -----------------------------   CONTACT ME:

Everyone wants to "scale," but here's the truth, growth isn't free.  More sales, more staff, more moving parts… and if you're not careful, less profit and longer hours. Let's talk about what it really takes to grow your business the smart way. Scaling can be exciting, but it can also drain your time, money, and sanity if you don't have a plan for every dollar you spend. You'll learn how to use your numbers to grow strategically, work on your business instead of in it, and make sure your profits grow right along with your sales. Because what's the point of a bigger business if you're still not getting paid?
