Publisher's summary

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)

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.

Great practical advice - well presented

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

Amazing business tool

clear and Valuable system to implement in your business no matter what size. In conjunction with Profit First I expect to take my business to the next level

Very insightful and entertaining

Very insightful and entertaining. I definitely recommend this book to all small business owners.

Another great book by Mike

The only thing that I need to do from here is to buy the paperback copy. There is so much actionable material and content that I need to go back and review in order for me to get the most out of the book. I am glad that I listened to the audio version.

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
