Been reminded again, of just how a good book can be so damn disruptive to your life. I have to admit, when I first heard about the Toilet Paper Entreprenuer, Mike Micalowicz, I listened politely and then immediately forgot about him. Even as I trust the opinion and recommendations of my regular guest blogger David Mullings, CEO of Real Vibez Media. In fact it was David who flew Mike down the first time he came to speak in Jamaica and it was to a bunch of University students at the University of the West Indies. Sorry David. ☺
You see I’ve read A LOT of best selling business books and I’ve gotten something out of most of them. But honestly I’d told myself already…ok enough business books, just get on with the business of welll, running my business. Plus I’d have my share of successes and failures, so what’s the big deal anyway. That changed this week. It started with me prepping for the event, Mike’s second speaking engagement in Jamaica this time brought down by Gale Peart, Ceo of MyEliteGrocer.com to speak at the Technology Innovation Centre at the University of Technology.
