      Exactly my thoughts. Basically, Mike’s business is himself. That is what he is advertising. All businesses that he has have Mike Thurston, the character, at the foundation.

    Hi Mike, I'd just like to let you know I've been really enjoying the content your putting out. I started with the training episodes years ago and then over the years since have been enjoying your vlogs. Now I am really enjoying the podcasts and this video here, is a very good highlight of what we are all going through as an entrepreneur in our respective field. So thanks brother, keep doing what your doing

    What makes it worse Mike, you like myself have physical products which need restocking, it's a whole different ball game from digital courses, not to mention shipping headaches. I would go as far as saying a purely digital business with online courses isn't a real business. New tees looking great too

    I appreciate your honesty.
    Considering your very very isolated niche of influencer/social media content creator I'd say you need to prepare for a seachange.
    The era of free money, artificially (and fraudulent) low interestrates and insanely corrupt monetary policies is over.
    It's dying if not dead already and it's visible in social unrest, ever increasing wars, conflicts, deteriorating social cohesion, unsustainable levels of debt and even greater distrust in government, journalism and institutions that are captured by activists.
    It all ties together and I truly believe at some point, something will break in the realm of social media. The model based on ad-revenue isn't sustainable. Neither is the subscription-model. It's been a hell of a decade, but prepare for massive adjustments.
    Best of luck.

      I'd say he's probably already set for life so doesn't need to worry about any change. He might not be able to live in a penthouse in Dubai forever, but if he's been smart with his money, he probably has enough tucked away to live a few lifetimes.

    Hey Mike, up until a month ago I'd never heard of you, but I've enjoyed catching up on your content. This is a great video, showing that it doesn't always smell of Roses out there. I've bought some shorts and a great Tee just to see quality & if they fit a lesser muscled specimen like me (LOL) as good as they look online ...and they are superb, so I'll definately be back. You're clearly a top fella trying to hustle a better life for yourself and you're helping and inspiring a lot of people along the way, so for that I salute you mate and wish you every success.

    To clarify "2)": sometimes the smart move is to pivot. With experience, you realize a better path might exist. Quitting one plan can lead to a more profitable, efficient one. It's not giving up; it's strategic redirection based on learned wisdom.

    I think it’s important to highlight that there are plenty of successful businesses out there. Most go by the mantra of if its not broken don’t try and fix it, meaning, the businesses that are successful out there, see what they are doing that is working and apply that to you your own business.

    After 15 years of being a solo entrepreneur, I really miss having colleagues. It's quite boring to work alone from home for 15 years. So the truth is I had way more fun and a much better social life when I was employed. The only positive now is I have total freedom and I don't have to work so much as my business for the most runs on autopilot. But not sure I would have chosen this path if I could go back in time.
