Fix This Next

Make the Vital Change That Will Level Up Your Business

By: Mike Michalowicz

Narrated by: Mike Michalowicz

From Mike Michalowicz, the author of Profit First, Clockwork, and The Pumpkin Plan, comes the ultimate diagnostic tool for every entrepreneur.

The biggest problem entrepreneurs have is that they don't know what their biggest problem is. If you find yourself trapped between stagnating sales, staff turnover, and unhappy customers, what do you fix first? Every issue seems urgent—but there's no way to address all of them at once. The result? A business that continues to go in endless circles putting out urgent fires and prioritizing the wrong things.

Fortunately, Mike Michalowicz has a simple system to help you eradicate these frustrations and get your business moving forward, fast. Mike himself has lived through the struggles and countless distractions of entrepreneurship, and devoted years to finding a simple way to pinpoint exactly where to direct attention for rapid growth. He figured out that every business has a hierarchy of needs, and if you can understand where you are in that hierarchy, you can identify what needs immediate attention. Simply fix that one thing next, and your business will naturally and effortlessly level-up.

Over the past decade, Mike has developed an ardent following for his funny, honest, and actionable insights told through the stories of real entrepreneurs. Now, Fix This Next offers a simple, unique, and wildly powerful business compass that has already helped hundreds of companies get to the next level, and will do the same for you. Immediately.

Includes exclusive author commentary throughout the audiobook and a bonus author interview at the end of the program.

Critic reviews

"As a fellow business author, I rarely read anything in my own genre—but I make an exception for every one of Mike's books. I always go away feeling educated, challenged, and fired up to make improvements in my business. (I'm still not going to wear a vest, though.)" (Chris Guillebeau, author of The Money Tree and Side Hustle)

"Mike is a genius." (Don Miller, author of Building a Story Brand)

"Similar to the human body, a business has specific needs for it to grow healthily. Fix This Next explains the make-up of your business and how to pinpoint where its health it compromised." (JJ Virgin, author of The Virgin Diet)

The Hub Book

I've been waiting a long time for this to come out. Finally it's here. Great idea. Great book. The website evaluation is essential.

Get ready to work

Super good tips that you can act on. I am already seeing results that are makimg me happy.

Maybe my favorite book by Mike

I’ve read (listened to) almost all of Mike’s books, and this I believe is my favorite so far, and I think probably is where people should start if they are new to Mike Michalowicz. This one was super practical, especially for me and where I am in the life of my business. I’ll be getting the hard copy soon so I can go back through and start applying everything.

Good Listen

This was not one of my favorite books by Mike Michalowicz but I can totally see the extreme value. One thing I did love about this book was how much Profit First was talked about. I highly recommend this book to every entrepreneur and business owner.

Great read

As always, Mike brings clarity to the complex. Great book for business owners at all stages.

Great system

The system is pretty basic but it’s a good system. Easy to apply and follow.
And Mike is a great narrator

Another excellent Michalowicz read

Another excellent Mike Michalowicz read! If you're feeling stuck in your business, use this book to help you figure out what you need to fix!

Simple Concept Trying To Fit For Every Business

The BHN has a good amount of value. Another way to focus in on specific weaknesses and help your business run better. The stories help you get the concept but it begins to step forward toward a you can do mentality with a bias against simply having a profitable business.

The author brings energy and his commitment to processes. The difficult part is it's theory, Sure a business that has a process is more likely to succeed, but how much more. The process is similar to other books on the topic but focus is focus.

The book is over when it starts to move to the give stage or rather by separating the two. Just like Maslow's hierarchy of needs it's a fluid process and in trying to fit the next thing it's easy to see how the give portion can get ignored. It's all important for everyone because if you don't have an impact why do people work for you?

The book was solid in the meat of it but the beginning and the end were a little dense and seemed to drag respectively. The idea is solid, in a book it likely could be simpler and perhaps the physical book is just that. I can only speak on the audio version.

Great practical advice - well presented

Great structure. loved the OMEN at end of each chapter
the BHM is simple yet smart
happy to recommend
