On Tuesday, June 26, 2012, Financial Bin‘s David Domzalski spoke with Mike Michalowicz, author of The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur.

Mike talks about his new book debuting on July 5th, The Pumpkin Plan: A Simple Strategy to Grow a Remarkable Business in Any Field, how one night of drinking too much lead to his entrepreneurial ambitions, and changing 5% of what you do to be hyper-successful in your field.

From ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com:

Mike started his first business at the age of 24, moving his young family to the only safe place he could afford – a retirement village. With no experience, no contacts and no savings he systematically bootstrapped a multi-million dollar business. Then he did it again. And again.

His experience building three multi-million dollar companies fostered a philosophy rarely taught to entrepreneurs: the lack of money, experience and resources is, in fact, your greatest asset.

Mike is the president of a behavioral web optimization firm, Obsidian Launch; is the small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal; is a frequent television guest; and is a keynote speaker on entrepreneurship.
