I’ve built several businesses from the ground to seven figures in revenue, exited several companies, and consulted 400+ businesses in the process. I’m breaking down the process for you in MBA Disrupted.

    Well done sir! Very practical and applicable information from the real business world. Reminded me of the book „Personal MBA” with focus on digital entrepreneurship and of course many years later so more up to date with 2024 and all the tools available now. Grats for finishing another book next to doing so many other things! 👏 It seems like you manage to do a great job with the balancing act of somehow keeping focus while being so diversified.
