Owner Shift
Mike Malatesta
Being an entrepreneur is hard. Being a successful one is a long shot. The stress makes you feel like you’re fighting everything at once. Regulations. Red tape. Employees, vendors, and customers. Even family and friends, sometimes.
But what about yourself?
All too often, entrepreneurs become their own worst enemies, designing systems that keep them stuck without even realizing it. When that happens, it’s easy to blame the lack of progress on other people. They’re not helping you. They’re the problem.
Owner Shift is the no-holds-barred, breakthrough story of Mike Malatesta’s own journey through excitement, pain, grit, and mistakes—showing you how to take back your power, evaluate your business objectively, and claim the future you want.
When it feels like the world is against you, Owner Shift reveals the Five Words that can reignite your fire—making you a better leader, attracting new levels of success, and helping you accomplish more than you ever thought possible.
