I bear the responsibility for my family, relatives, and employees.
Engaging in significant endeavors is inherently fulfilling.
The capacity to effect positive change with earned resources motivates me.
Procrastination has lingered too long, and acknowledging the inevitability of change prompts decisive action.
Continuing the present state only perpetuates stagnation.
Moreover, a genuine desire for transformation propels me forward.

Recognizing the questions that demand deeper investigation positions me to make more informed decisions.
The exploration of discomfort zones becomes a catalyst for accelerated personal evolution.

How does Mikk know
Rapid growth
Mikk's journey includes thriving through rapid growth and surviving steep declines. The decline, albeit challenging, was particularly insightful. Amid MRR-fueled expansion, banks eagerly offered loans, yet cash scarcity hindered timely tax payments. Resources were allocated to growth and machinery purchases with a quick ROI. Reflecting on this journey, Mikk acknowledges the evolution of decision-making, affirming a wiser approach today.
Rapid decline
In 2009, we navigated a challenging period with a consecutive 30% monthly income decline for six months. Faced with adversity, swift and tough decisions were imperative—determining where to cut, what to pause, strategic areas for continued investment to ensure survival, salary payments, tax settlements, and honoring client commitments. The focus was on maintaining competitive speed, uncovering and conquering new niches with efficiency.
Pragmatic
I adopt a pragmatic viewpoint, devoid of a blinding love filter towards my product, service, or business. My perspective extends beyond the product, discerning business opportunities and obligations. With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, I have honed my skills as a venture designer, builder, executor, and strategist. My background includes serving as a business analyst, product owner, and information system designer, offering a seasoned and expansive outlook in crafting IT products for clients and ourselves.
Exit
Securing my last significant exit in 2019, I've since become a business advisor, mentor and coach for startups and entrepreneurs. Learning from my own past mistakes, I believe effective teaching stems from being a continuous learner myself.
What, Why vs How
Experts often focus on 'how,' but for me, the crucial questions are 'what' and 'why.' Addressing these foundational aspects leads to a more impactful and expedited change. Rather than training the wings to work harder and longer, let's change "the course of the fish".
Program & results
"Faking it till you make it" is not in my vocabulary. I tailor programs to suit specific client needs, resulting in a substantial growth jump in 90% of cases—sometimes fast, sometimes monumental.
