Each year, Americans start one million new businesses, nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years. Under such pressure to stay alive - let alone grow - it’s easy for entrepreneurs to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of "sell it - do it, sell it - do it" that leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and unable to get ahead no matter how hard they try. Full of stories of other successful entrepreneurs, The Pumpkin Plan guides you through unconventional strategies to help you build a truly profitable blue-ribbon company that is the best in its field.

From Mike Michalowicz, the author of Profit First, Clockwork, and The Pumpkin Plan, comes the ultimate diagnostic tool for every entrepreneur.... The biggest problem entrepreneurs have is that they don't know what their biggest problem is. If you find yourself trapped between stagnating sales, staff turnover, and unhappy customers, what do you fix first? Every issue seems urgent - but there's no way to address all of them at once. The result? A business that continues to go in endless circles putting out urgent fires and prioritizing the wrong things.

Hello, my name is Maria Carmen, and I have something important to tell you. I know you've probably heard these types of success stories before and are a little skeptical, but I'm telling you this is true and can really happen for you. Ten years ago, after my divorce, I needed to find a way to support myself. I was one of those individuals that never went to college or had a trade skill, so there weren't a lot of job choices for me.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

By: Donald Miller
Publisher's Summary
"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!

brilliantly unorthodox. intelligently uncouth.
What made the experience of listening to The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur the most enjoyable?
Chock-full of useful information, while being not in the least bit dry.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur?
play-by-play narration of a public restroom 3-sheets dilemma.
What about Mike Michalowicz’s performance did you like?
energy, enthusiasm, and clearly in the author's voice because he self-narrated :-P
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed early, I laughed often, and I laughed hard.
Any additional comments?
TPE is the "how to start a lean business" book. The Pumpkin Plan (also by Mike Michalowicz and also on Audible) is the "how to grow beyond your plateau" book. Both are irreverent and full of great ideas.

Read in reverse order
This is the first book in Mike's series of books and having listened to them in reverse order, the insights Mike provides in later books with regards to the context in which this book played out help put it into perspective.
A great performance with a good story but I would encourage everyone to read Mike's other books first.

I am a TPE
What did you love best about The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur?
Ironically, I read this book last of all 3 of Mike's books. Still loved it. I am have had a company for almost 2 years and though much of the book still applies to me, I only wish I read it 2 years ago. I love that Mike brings it as he is, like it or not!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mike! As a young business owner I felt the chill in my spine and fire in my stomach when Mike mentioned he started at 24 years old; I am 24 now.
Any additional comments?
Having read all 3 of Mike's books I can honestly say they speak for themselves. Even if you don't like the accents and cheesy humor, you will eventually! If I ever have the pleasure of meeting Mike Michalowicz someday I only hope to buy him a beer! Cheers, Mike!

I can't get enough of this guy ❤️
Many authors/narrators can be pleasant to listen to but this guy really is funny! Despite the fact I already know about the topics he covers in his OTHER books, I am tempted to by one of his other books just for the fact I'm guaranteed a great listen! 😊😉👍
PS. I'm always skeptical of reviews that are complimentary so for what it is worth, I should mention; I don't know the author and - as of 5/2017, I'm not an blogger of affiliate of ANY kind.
PSS.... the not so bonus, bonus-content about Mr Crapper is interesting Trivia I never knew of prior.

Informative & entertaining!
Mike's teaching style is informative, action packed and entertaining. He's a bit crass at times (just in case you didn't pick up on that in his other work) but it's not offensive.
I had several "aha" moments of where I've gone off course in my own start-up. Now I'm looking forward to course-correcting and seeing growth in my biz due to Mike's advice.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if your starting out, it is a good start to open your eyes.
What about Mike Michalowicz’s performance did you like?
Good stories.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no.
Any additional comments?
Again, great for beginners looking for a start into something, once you have much of the experience I feel you are too far past to apply a lot of his talks.

An OK listen
A good listen if you've not heard the pumpkin plan, clockwork and profit first ( which I loved and have listened to numerous times) but I felt this repeated a lot from the other books

Very motivating and funny, but not for depth
I liked that the author is a "no BS" guy and states things planely as they are. For a person going trough the process of making a business, this was something I wish someone had told me before. Not much for people who look for detailed strategies, this gives more of a "motivational boost" to start.

It's ok, has some good points
If your in a start up read it, if your running your business already put it to the back burn and read when you have time.
Over all it's a good business book but does go over a lot of the points that other business books do as, more for the start up side of business.

Practical, Realistic, Achievable
This is a very good book on business. There are so many other business books out there which all say the same thing. It was nice to read something new and refreshing for one. Thanks Michael. I won’t try to spell your surname :)

A must read for every startup
Every startup must read this. Whilst everyone is running to raise capital they don't need, I always think thy have to exhaust they're time and resources first. They have to become toilet entrepreneurs first! Loved it 5 stars
