About this episode

Mikey and the host discuss their journeys to becoming millionaires through entrepreneurship and investments, emphasizing resilience and long-term thinking.

Mikey and I have both become millionaires through building million dollar businesses alongside traditional investments. Mikey left a million-dollar income to start Guardian and is only just coming out the other side after four years, whilst Ive grown my accounting & advisory firm alongside my business partner to $2m/year in revenue. We cover the valley every entrepreneur faces, why most people quit when things get hard, and how believing in something for a decade changes everything. We cover why speed beats perfection, the resilience required to build something meaningful, and how both their businesses reward them for the risk they're taking. Plus the mindset shift from thinking in months to thinking in decades, and why New Zealand is actually perfect for building wealth if you're willing to do the work. It can still be done in New Zealand. You just have to be willing to do the hard work.
