Summary::
Mike recently went on a 4,000-mile bike ride across the USA to interview 100 successful small town entrepreneurs about how they’ve managed to merge livelihood and lifestyle in places they want to live, and on today’s episode he lets us in on a lot of the secrets that he learned from them.
“The most important thing I learned is that anyone can do this, anyone can build a business.”
So forget the notion that you have to bring your ideas to the big city, Mike shows how its 100% possible to have the life you want and a thriving business no matter what your location. He also gives tons of tools and resources for you to use to get there.
I grew up in a town of 500, and then moved to Jackson Hole because of location, not job opportunity, so, to me, his findings are fascinating and encouraging for everyone in smaller towns.
“That’s what we noticed about these hundred successful entrepreneurs, they were very, very purpose-driven.”
