Mike O’Hagan, the man who has developed MiniMovers into one of Australia’s largest and most successful removalists, is one of Queensland’s most innovative businessmen. He’s also a mentor – and an inspiration - for budding entrepreneurs.

O’Hagan is determined to assist younger business people to grow their businesses and his mission takes him across Australia addressing business groups and mentoring individuals about how to spot opportunities for growing new businesses. O’Hagan inspires many with his simple but forceful messages about following demand and running with it without the need for complex business plans.

O'Hagan outlines his business philosophy in the August issue of My Business “Success in any business is about the mindset of the person,” says O’Hagan. “Be persistent, have drive, determination, and out-and-out tenacity. Constantly conceive and test different things. Maximize the number of opportunities coming your way by spreading yourself around - be noticed, and recognise opportunities.”

He knows because he’s done it: MiniMover’s turnover stands at $23 million and boasts an impressive 45 per cent annual growth.
