Every once in awhile, a book comes along that really makes sense.
This? Yep, this is definitely one of them.
If you’ve read Mike Michaelowicz’s The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, then you’re already familiar with his friendly and accessible style, his sense of humor, and…well, his enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.
But even if you’re asking, “Mike ‘Mik-whats-his-name?” The Pumpkin Plan is a book you shouldn’t pass up.
Why? Simply because it addresses one of THE biggest challenges we all face as semi-new entrepreneurs: How to focus on the right bright-shiny-objects and grow a healthy, beautiful business.
I loved this book so much, in fact, that I’ve added it to my Must-Read List of Marketing Books.
Earlier this year, when I heard Mike had a new book releasing this summer, I immediately reached out to him and asked him for an interview.
He knew he was going to be crazy busy during the launch, so we prerecorded it last month. You can listen to it here in the Word Café on July 5th (also the date the book is ready to ship if you buy on Amazon).
Until then, I’ve got not one, but TWO copies of this fabulous book to give away. And here’s how we’re gonna do this: Treasure Hunt!
Each day, until July 5th (or until the treasure’s found!) I’ll post a new clue here on this page. So be sure to return each day to see the new clue, or congratulate the winners…
If you live in the San Jose, California area, your clue is:
Clue #1: Not only does it rhyme with Verona, it’s an establishment named after another fair city in Italy. Seek out the property manager — she holds the book for YOU.
Clue #2: The place? It’s on the luckiest street in Japantown.
Clue #3: There’s a Taylor on a Mission to help you with that Windsor tie!
Congrats to Dennis W. of Palo Alto for finding the treasure today at Pavona Apartments.
And if you’re anywhere else in the world, your clue is:
Clue #1: This classic beauty and pin-up girl holds a copy of Mike’s book in her right hand.
Clue #2: That’s not a look of boredom on her face, but her face IS on a board.
Congratulations to Laurie of panagle.com for finding the treasure yesterday on my Pinterest Board.
(Just email me when you’ve found the virtual book and if you’re the first one to figure it out, you’ll be the proud owner of a bouncing baby Pumpkin Plan.)
