Hailing from the wonderful nation of South Africa, Mike Eilertsen has achieved more at a young and ripe age than most do in a lifetime. Charismatic and creative, Mike’s built an ever growing empire of magazines and luxury ideas. As all young and up-and-coming folk should, he jumped at the chance of being part of The Successful Mistake.

Successful he may be, but Mike’s made his mistakes along the way. He shares a couple in this fine interview, and my-oh-my am I glad he did. If you plan to hire staff, and build an empire of your own, do not miss out on this chance to learn from a master. Over to you, Mikey-boy.

HIS STORY BASED BIO:

Ah Mike Eilertson, with his blue eyes and blonde hair. We all have visions of what the stereotypical entrepreneurs looks like, and sounds like, and acts like, and Mike, my wonderful misfit peeps, fits into the dreamy dream rather well.

Young and energetic with several businesses under his belt, Mike proudly stands among the serial entrepreneur crowd, bossing it in South Africa like a true boss.

With vision and vigour and a special kind of vroom, Mike attacks each day with a unique and memorable twist. There’s plenty of people you can listen to, and learn from, and Mike’s one of them. Just don’t blame if you get all googlly eyed and lost in South African tones – sorry, that was an awful impression.
