Productive Companies Don’t Use Productivity Hacks | Mike Michalowicz | TEDxBaylorSchool

Mike Michalowicz, the author of Clockwork, explains why the pursuit of productivity is ultimately a trap that holds businesses down. He shares a method, used by bee colonies, that enables businesses to grow quickly and nearly effortlessly. By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies. Confident that he had the formula to success, he became an angel investor…and proceeded to lose his entire fortune.

Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Among other innovative strategies, Mike created the “Profit First Formula”, a way for businesses to ensure profitability from their very next deposit forward.

how is this guy not more famous. Maybe he is really really clear ONLY to those of us who are Nero divergent aka entroponurial and not normies?! yup I am dyslexic, hence spelling, but the way MIke reverse engineers and retrofits dusty old business thinking is Heaven to my big ears.

After being recommended this author I was a bit underwhelmed by how surface the advice seemed for most of the video, since at this point it sounds a bit obvious that one should prioritize and delegate the rest and it's still easier said than done. But the end part about finding the core purpose by challenging yourself what roles you'd be willing to sacrifice if you could only keep one blew my mind. I'll definitely check out the book now.

This reminds me of the way mr beast stays hyperproductive as he himself explains on Rogan

What if you don't enjoy your 'queen bee' role? haha

I like his talks but wish he'd knock it off with the BS time-filler stories. He wastes too much time on them. I'm grateful that I can scroll forward! I'll summarize this and save you 13 minutes and 55 seconds. Don't micromanage or do everything. Do only what you need to do as the leader or owner of your business. Delegate all the rest. Tah dah! Now that's a productivity hack!
