I Have a Booger Hanging Out and No One Is Saying Squat

by Mike Michalowicz

“I’ve had my share of embarrassing moments, but one blunder taught me an important lesson that stayed with me and helped me up my entrepreneurial game. A few years back I was in a big deal meeting with three people, looking to close a serious partnership. Right away I noticed all three of my colleagues were avoiding eye contact with me, but ignored it and kept on yakking. About forty-five minutes in to my pitch, I felt the call of nature and excused myself to go to the bathroom.

After I did my business and washed my hands, I looked in the mirror to check out my do. Sure enough, a booger the size of caterpillar was hanging out of my nose, flapping around each time I took a breath. What the hell? I’d been sitting in a meeting for nearly an hour with this slug crawling out of my nose, and no one said squat!

No wonder everyone seemed so uncomfortable. No wonder no one could look at me for more than a second or two, they were trying to avoid eye to eye to booger contact. Nice job, Michalowicz. Way to make a great impression. Not.”

I recently signed up at www.toiletpaperentrepreneur.com for some free information and the story above is the beginning of some hilarious material. After seeing Mike Michalowicz on The Big Idea, I checked out all of the previews/articles/journals on Mike, his company and his book “The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur” which is scheduled to release in September.

Man, this guy is right up my alley! Check out Michalowicz’s company called Obsidian Launch. http://www.obsidianlaunch.com/
