Building a thriving business and having enough time for family is difficult. Many hard-hitting entrepreneurs believe it’s impossible to have both. Today’s guest, Mike Ayala, is a living example that you certainly can with the right mindset and people by your side. Mike’s been through some adversity from a young age. An alcoholic dad, hanging with the wrong people, and even spending time in prison. That experience led to him finding what he values most in life: Family, freedom, and loving relationships while also having the wealth to fund that lifestyle. He sketched out his vision for what he wanted out of life and business, and he turned it into reality through sheer determination and help from the right people. By age 24, Mike founded his first construction company and has been involved with over 2,000 projects totaling over $1 billion. He scaled one of his companies to more than 100 employees and sold it at a $12 million valuation. Today, he helps other people find financial freedom and use that freedom to live life on their terms. In this episode, we dig into the importance of mentors, being clear on your values in life, the power of investing in people, and so much more.
