By: Mike Michalowicz

Narrated by: Mike Michalowicz

"Never started a company before? Struggling with little or no cash? Have no experience, no baseline to judge your progress against? Thank God! You've got a shot at making this work."

So says Mike Michalowicz, author of The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, a business book that is so uniquely useful, so raw and entertaining, it reads like the brainchild of Steve Jobs and Chris Rock.

The founder of three multimillion-dollar companies, including Obsidian Launch, a company that partners with first-time entrepreneurs to grow their concepts into industry leaders, Mike Michalowicz knows what it really takes to spin your great idea into pure gold.

Whether you're just starting out or have been at this for years, Mike's "get real" approach to business is a much-needed, swift kick in the pants. In this book, you'll discover:

• Why a business plan is a total waste of your time
• Why fulfilling your own needs is the first and last order of business
• Which three sheets of paper you need to successfully launch, manage, and grow your business
• How to get started in business with little or no money
• How to find and exploit resources that no one else knows about
• How to stop procrastinating and take action NOW!

EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS!

I loved this book and the knowledge inside blew my mind, but made so much sense. Even in my personal finances it makes sense. I loved Mike's humor and narration. He kept me wanting to listen!

great business book

This book was great. Lots of information that you can apply and take action on. Love Mike too he is a great story teller

Quick, Relatable and to the Point

I like this book because it was short and digestible and down to earth. So many entrepreneur books are just not applicable to real life. I also don’t always benefit from stories of other people’s success but it fit well in this context of this book and I enjoyed it.

I LOVE MIKE

Excellent book with tools on how to succeed in the entrepreneurial world. Simply amazing book

Overall great book, with ONE questionable passage

Overall I loved the book! It provided great know how and excellent motivation for me as a floundering freelancer/entrepreneur.
The section on 5 years to 5 million gave me some great perspective on bow large I should be thinking, and allowed me to mentally break that down into chunk so I can begin pricing my product adequately.

However, there was one passage that used relationships between men and women as a metaphor for something, though I honestly can't remember for what because he uses some VERY outdated, clichèd, and crude language when describing that metaphor. It was so jarring that it really took me out of the process for a few minutes.

Be prepared for that one section, otherwise a very good business book.
