Toilet Paper Entrepreneur Book Review

BY Ben Lang Oct. 12, 2009 46 Comments

Hilarious, enjoyable, educational and clever are just a few ways to describe Mike Michalowicz’s hit, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur. How could someone ever come up with a comparison between becoming an entrepreneur and wiping one’s behind?

There isn’t a chapter in this book where you’re not wholly entertained and learning simultaneously.

What I love about this book is the balance it strikes between creativity, learning and humor. As you read about Mike’s road to success you will laugh out loud. At the end of every chapter there are exercises to prepare you for starting your own business.

If you are interested in a book review, please contact me for more details.

As a 16 year old entrepreneur, I learned a tremendous amount from this book. If you are looking for a guide to starting your own business, this is definitely the right book for you. After reading this book going to the bathroom will never be the same.

To learn more about this fantastic book visit toiletpaperentrepreneur.com or purchase the book from Amazon.

    Hi Ben.

    Cool. I was lucky to get a personally signed super duper special copy by 'my working angel' Mr. TPE himself. I also got me self some reserved copies. Maybe I can send one to you to give away as a promo through your blog. If you would be interested, let me know via email or Twitter.

    Great job as usual!

    Thanks for all the kind words. And hope you pick up the book (it is like $19 on Amazon). I promise you it will rock your world. Just be prepared for a few F bombs and a few references to the human experience.

    Thanks again Ben!

    Toilet Paper is one of the few products that is recession proof. No matter what happens, people will always wipe! Shoot, I'm thinking about getting into the toilet paper industry!

      Hey Tony,
      Lol nice one. I agree with you, reminds of an article I just read in a magazine about the environmental battle against "soft" toilet paper since it requires more trees. You go to admit though a guy who comes up with a book named The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur is a genius!

    Hey Ben! Great Review here. TPE is a fantastic book for all those who want to get involved in business!

    Hey Ben, that is a great Review right there!

    It is always hard to write a Review for Mike considering how good we talk about what he does and what kind of Value he gives, it is always an understatement. Mike goes beyond and surpasses expectations of many people.

    It is also awesome to see the two giants here! Shonika and Mike themselves!

    Great job, Ben! Mike is certainly a creative and unique entrepreneur. The effort and time he took to reply to so many of the comments attests to that.

    I still don't get the connection between the toilet paper and being an entrepreneur. I guess I am gone have to read the book…

    Hey Philippe,
    I hope you get the book Mike would really appreciate it!

    I love it when learning is made fun…thanks for sharing this review. I had seen the book and was not sure whether to buy it or not…I'm going to get it now. :)

    I have this book marked to buy. The title immediately grabs your attention because
    as you said "How could someone ever come up with a comparison between becoming
    an entrepreneur and wiping one’s behind? "

    It does sounds very interesting though and when I was over at his site and checking out
    some of his videos, he seems like a cool guy so I expect his book to be cool too.

    You got me there with the funny name of the book. ;)

    Thanks for the review. I will give the book a try :)

    I’ve heard some good things about this book. In fact, I’ve visited Mike’s blog several times and I’ve seen some of his videos. Mike, I like your sense of humor :) . The title of the book is just amazing.

    By the way, good review Ben, keep doing like this.

    Take care
