43 Nik Mirkovic and Alex Tomic Founders of HiSmile 0
Oct 5, 2017

One of the definitions of entrepreneur that I heard recently and really like is:

"Where once there was nothing, there now is something. The entrepreneur is the person who makes some thing where previously there was nothing"

This episode is all about entrepreneurship by this definition. Nik Mirkovic and Alex Tomic were just 2 blokes in south east Queensland. They looked for an idea for a business and they grew it into a $40million + business n just 3 years.

Where there was nothing .... and now there is Hi Smile!

Theirs is a terrific story. One day it would be great to have one or both of them on my podcast. Meanwhile, here is my version of their start up story.

If you want to read the full transcript it is over on my blog at www.healthynumbers.com.au

If you would like an excerpt of my soon to be released book you can go to www.SoYouWanttoStartaBusiness.com.au and leave your email and we'll send you a copy immediately.

Thanks for listening.
