453: The 4 Advantages for Entrepreneurs: Using Capital, Time, Distribution and Knowledge to Win in Business with Nik Hulewsky

Fellas, I’m truly excited to welcome Nik Hulewsky to the show today.  Nik is a husband, father and accomplished entrepreneur who’s successfully sold multiple businesses and is now focused on sharing his journey and experiences with others. In this show, you’ll gain insights into the mental models that have fueled Nik's business achievements, including the four strategic factors he uses to evaluate potential business acquisitions.  I ask a follow up question about how his business models have helped him be a better parent.  We take a look at his weekly calendar and how he invests his time, and with what people, to drive revenue without giving up his family focus.   We also discussed the importance of knowing yourself before making big decisions, and how curiosity has become his super power.   Nik shares heartfelt stories about his unique upbringing, the influence of his immigrant father, and how those experiences shaped his approach to business and family, which leads us to unpacking how he teaches his kids to be thinkers.   Enjoy today’s energizing conversation with the one and only Nik Hulewsky.
