The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur Out Today!

Mike Michalowicz have very quickly become one of my favorite people on the planet. His book ‘The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur‘ was released today and let me tell you folks, it’s going to be HUGE. I was fortunate enough to receive a pre-release copy from Mike and talk to him on the phone a couple of weeks ago and I have never in my life read a book that has resonated more strongly with me and my beliefs about business.

You may be thinking to yourself right now, “What the hell is a Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, that sounds gross…” Well the premiss of the book is simple; you don’t need a lot of money to start a business, all you need is a passion for something and a plan to get to where you want to be. The allusion to Toilet Paper comes Mike’s approach to using your available resources. What would your game plan be if you were stuck in a public stall with just 3 sheets left on the role, your pants around your ankles and your dirty deed in the bowl beneath you? Would you just sit and complain, beg for help from an empty room? Or would you figure out a way to get yourself clean and out the door. (actually that is kind of gross… haha)

Lack of money is one of the most commonly used excuses for not starting a business. TPEs (Toilet Paper Entrepreneurs) believe that is actually an advantage because it forces you to be creative, to think of ways to get things done with what you have.

Why do I love this book so much? It’s real. It isn’t some theory or half baked pseudo-motivational advice book. The book presents real solutions for many problems I’ve personally encountered in my past businesses. I told Mike after reading it, “If only this book had come out 4 years ago, I would have saved myself a lot of time and money learning these lessons hard way.” Not only that, the book provides the framework to continue from your initial company launch all the way to you end goal whatever that may be. I’ve begun implementing some of the framework he provides in the book into my business and the results have been outstanding.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I recommend you check out Mike’s website: toiletpaperentrepreneur.com . You can pick up a copy of the book there, use the coupon code FREESHIP to knock off the shipping and handling charges. You could also get it on Amazon but from what I’ve heard, they already sold out of all the copies they had.
