Each year, Americans start one million new businesses, nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years. Under such pressure to stay alive - let alone grow - it’s easy for entrepreneurs to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of "sell it - do it, sell it - do it" that leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and unable to get ahead no matter how hard they try. Full of stories of other successful entrepreneurs, The Pumpkin Plan guides you through unconventional strategies to help you build a truly profitable blue-ribbon company that is the best in its field.

Story
A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

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)

Business Bible
As someone who values the Bible as a source of wisdom, energy and life; my description of Fix This Next is high praise. MM and the Profit 1st system have revolutionized my contracting business All Star Painting from struggling paycheck to paycheck to a profitable, well respected service provider in Bismarck ND. For me personally, from a lonely,
daily-grind drudgery, to an exciting and collaborative game.

Recommend getting the physical book on this one
I love listening to Mikes books because his narrating is so great, but this one covers too much to do it vocally with no handy aid and figuring out how to download the printables was harder for this book than the others.
I didn't feel like rewinding to find the correct URL and it's not stored in Mikes normal free resource list and the questions asked at fixthisnext.com turned me off.
Overall the framework seems solid (although it was hard to really do the assessment using audible). But I didn't gain a ton of insight since I have a framework of my own I use for myself and my clients.
That being said, if you don't have a framework and want to use one from a well established expert, give this one a try. It won't take you long and if you learn great things you didn't know before it's well worth it! And actually you don't even need to read the book, you can just do the assessment.

What you didn’t learn in your MBA Organizational Behavior class
Mike, nailed it...again. I remember falling asleep to Maslow...shh, don’t tell him. This is how to make that theory come alive, and then some.
For solopreneurs and small business owners, this is probably the single best prioritizing tool so we can stop freaking out about conflicting to-do lists and do the ONE THING...TODAY, to propel the business. I owe this man too many margaritas.

Loved this book so much. Mike’s system makes so much sense, and is easy to use, but sophisticated enough to be relevant to all sizes of business. I wish I had thought of it!
I’ve started applying a modified version in my charity, and it’s helping to cut through the clutter to identify our next vital need.
Mike’s narration style might not be for everyone, but his passion and enthusiasm seem very authentic and engaging.
Strongly recommend this to anyone in any sort of business - it’s a game-changer.
