Mike “Macro Mike” Kellett didn’t just build a business — he built a multi-million-pound brand from scratch. With no investors, no safety net and no shortcuts.

After losing both parents young and battling trauma, rejection, and rock-bottom moments, Mike refused to settle for the life he was handed. Instead, he built one on his own terms.

In Bootstrapping to Breakthrough, Mike reveals what it really takes to create success — not the polished Instagram version, but the real and raw reality.

Through powerful stories, hard-earned lessons, and no-BS insight, this book shows you how to think differently, act decisively, and build something that truly matters. Inside, you’ll discover:

  • What it truly takes to bootstrap a business idea to a scalable brand
  • Why hustle and attitude beat talent and education — every time
  • How to break old patterns holding you back and rebuild new ones
  • How to develop and maintain a breakthrough mindset
  • The transformative truth about self-made success
  • How resilience really works when things hit hard
  • The keys to transforming yourself and overcoming limitations

But this isn’t just a business book. It’s about taking control. Breaking cycles. And rewriting the script of your life.

If you’re ready to drop the excuses, go all in, and create a life you’ve only ever dreamed of, this is your ultimate playbook. Your rewrite begins now.

About the Author

Mike “Macro Mike” Kellett is a self-made entrepreneur, founder, and the driving force behind one of Australia’s fastest-growing health food brands.

Starting with just $10,000 and no external investment, Mike built Macro Mike from a bedroom side hustle into a multi-million-dollar, nationally recognised brand. Known for disrupting the supplement industry with innovative, plant-based products and a fiercely loyal community, his journey is a testament to what relentless hustle and belief can achieve.

But Mike’s story didn’t start with success.

After losing both parents at a young age and navigating a childhood marked by adversity, he developed the resilience and work ethic that would later define his entrepreneurial journey. From selling snacks out of his school bag to working commission-based sales jobs and grinding through years of uncertainty, Mike has lived every stage of the bootstrap journey.

Today, he’s not only a successful business owner but also a mentor, speaker, and advocate for real, no-BS entrepreneurship. He’s passionate about helping others break free from the traditional path, build businesses on their own terms, and create lives they’re genuinely proud of.

Bootstrapping to Breakthrough is his first book—a raw and honest account of the lessons, failures, and the Macro mindset required to build something from nothing.
