Ultimate Book Giveaway – Linchpin and Toilet Paper Entrepreneur

BY May. 31, 2010 51 Comments


I’ve decided to give away two incredible books that have greatly influenced me: Linchpin and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur.

Linchpin – Seth Godin

I was lucky enough to receive two copies of Linchpin. After reading it I decided that I had to give the same opportunity to one of my readers. Godin writes about your choices, your future and your potential to make a difference in your field. He describes linchpins as essential building blocks in organizations, artists, creative workers. This book teaches you how to become one of them.

The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur – Mike Michalowicz

Hilarious, enjoyable, educational and clever are just a few ways to describe this book in which Michalowicz compares becoming an entrepreneur to wiping ones behind. His “get real” approach to business will benefit you tremendously.

Interested in reading them yourself? Just leave a comment below and you’re entered…

The winner of each book will be chosen at random on Thursday, June 3rd. The winners will be contacted by email and announced on Twitter.

The contest is officialy over. Check out the winners on Twitter.

    I’ve read Linchpin but not Toilet Paper Entrepreneur.

    From my personal opinion, even if you don’t win a copy of Linchpin, I think everyone should take the time to read it – it will blog your mind about working for companies.

      Haha, too much blogging on the mind.

      “It will blow your mind”

      The scary thing about the book was how it almost made me quit my job the day I read it. It really makes you think about your role in a company and how you can really leverage yourself as an employee.

      Be warned: it will make you a little antsy to start working on your own projects. But that’s a good thing.

    Have Seth’s-fabulous- would enjoy reading Mike’s.

  • http://www.upliftinginspiration.com UI

    What a great idea to give the books away and to do so in this unusual way. I guess there must be some really creative mind behind this ;-)

  • http://www.myspiritualaffirmations.com Mary Pitman

    I love Seth Godin’s work. I learned about permission marketing from him. I’m only familiar with you, Mike, via Facebook so I’m interested to see what you are all about.
    I’m visualizing your email in my inbox announcing me as the winner! It would be a great birthday present (2 days late but who cares if it’s late!)

  • catchmikey

    What better toilet read could I ask for! Your book would especially be great for my roommate who spends way too much time in the bathroom and wants to produce some extra-ordinary-thing

    I’d love to share your book with my roomie! Thx!
