Friday Podcast: Business Building Tips From Mike Peters September 12, 2008

Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , trackback

I met Mike Peters in person at Affiliate Summit West last year, having talked to him a number of times before that.

With a colorful lifetime of experience, Mike:

Was born and raised in Israel
Started his first company at 14
Made more money than his dad at 15
Dropped out of school at 16
Said no to Microsoft’s offer of a 6-figure income job because he wanted to run his own businesses
Started 4 companies, closed them down or had them fail, accumulated $150,000 in credit card debt before hitting it big

And now serves as Florida General Manager for Software Projects, a full service internet marketing and web development firm.

In our discussion, we talked about:

How you can get started on planning and building your internet business
How you can effectively deal with challenges and failure in your business
Lessons Mike learned, especially with raising $6 million in funding for one of his businesses which ultimately failed
Which billionaire business owner Mike recommends as a role model to learn from
The truth and reality checks about owning your own business
