Three Questions About My Book (#209) - a podcast by Mike Malatesta

In today’s episode, I wanted to answer the three most common questions asked about my book or my process of writing the book. I wanted to share this with everyone hoping that it inspires you to write your own as well. I am hoping that my story will push you to do the thing that you’ve always wanted to do but keep putting it on the back burner.







My favorite, actionable idea is to get selfish to get unstuck. It sounds horrible, but it’s actually necessary. Too many books, speeches and YouTube videos tell us that the best leaders are selfless and servant. That they put everyone’s needs ahead of their own. I bought into that for a long time myself. It’s who I wanted to be – and be known to be. Until I found myself stuck in the Valley of Uncertainty. In there, I was lost, aimless, feeling sorry for myself and wondering what I’d done to get there. I wanted someone to reach down into that Valley to pull me out and tell me what to do.

You Too Can Get Unstuck







My new book, “OWNER SHIFT – How Getting Selfish Got Me Unstuck“ is a philosophical memoir that reveals the secret to why so many entrepreneurs get stuck and how they can SHIFT to get free once again.







It tells the story of how I found myself in the Valley of Uncertainty, a place where many entrepreneurs end up stuck, confused and feeling sorry for themselves, like I did.







It was a place I hated but didn’t know how to climb out of.







Until a messenger that I barely knew and wasn’t looking for showed up and put me on the path that eventually led me out of that Valley and into a future that I owned and made my property.
