Mike DeJong is a multi-business owner, keynote speaker, and the author of Grow Smart: Your Path to Freedom: Mastering the Transformation from Operator to Owner. Over the past 30 years across multiple industries, including the last decade in franchising, Mike has built businesses, turned around struggling operations, and often been the person called in to fix what isn't working. Through that experience he discovered something most entrepreneurs do not realize until it is too late: Owning a business and having an owner's mindset are two completely different things. Mike now teaches entrepreneurs how to escape what he calls the operator trap, the cycle where owners work harder and harder but never actually gain freedom.
