Episode #90: Here's How It Happened featuring Mike Malatesta
“An entrepreneur should always be thinking about going big and I'm not talking about money necessarily. I'm just talking about as big as you're capable of becoming.”

Entrepreneurship is a journey, and not everyone experiences it the exactly same way and therefore the people will all have differing viewpoints about what entrepreneurship truly is. Some move through the process fast, stumbling into success in a matter of weeks after executing a brilliant idea. Others move slowly, spending decades of their lives perfecting the art.
As beautiful as it could be, the road to entrepreneurship can also be a treacherous one filled with unexpected detours, roadblocks and dead ends. There are lots of sleepless nights, plans that don't work out, funding that doesn't come through and customers that never materialize. It can be so challenging to launch a business that it may make you wonder why anyone willingly sets out on such a path.
“I want them to think big I want them to know it's hard to get into this thing. So let's put the small thinking aside because you can work really hard and be smaller or you can work really hard and be big What do you want to do? What impact do you want to have? I want to help entrepreneurs see what the value in is for them and for everybody that they're associated.”
Mike Malatesta can trace his entrepreneurial spirit back to when he was 4 years old. His family lived across the street from a construction company that had a bunch of dump trucks and other heavy equipment.
As a young boy, he’d sit on the curb and watch the guys maneuver their rigs into the tight yard before quitting for the day. He imagined what it would be like to drive a truck like that, to have his name on its side.
Fast forward to adulthood and after a job dismissal and strong encouragement from a friend, Mike made the decision to enter the world of entrepreneurship and went on to grow and sell two 8-Figure waste management companies.
Its a choice that he’s never regretted.
Mike now spends much of his time helping other entrepreneurs on their own journey and he stops by The Audacious Living Podcast to discuss his firsthand knowledge of how hard it is to be a business owner, the entrepreurial goal of success and freedom, strategies on how entrepreneurs can take their businesses to the next level and his business podcast, How It Happened.
Mike shares his losses, failres, sacrifices, and the life lessons learned in his book, OWNERSHIFT.
