Shit Happens!

Take a look at the best business advice from bathroom graffiti artists – brought to you by Mike Michalowicz. Mike wrote a book called The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur. The book is all about growing a business without money, experience or other necessities because that is how Mike Michalowicz, the author, launched all of his companies (two of which have sold for millions by the way). In the book, Mike shows how, in fact, the lack of these things are your biggest strength.

1. “Join the Air Force. Aim high!”

The Entrepreneurial Lesson – This graffiti is found above many a urinal throughout the country. Piss stains abound. There is a big business lesson here. When you go for it, aim high. Worst case you don’t have enough oomph and you dirty up your pantaloons. Best case, you soak the ceiling.

2. “Is anal retentive hyphenated?”

The Entrepreneurial Lesson – Oh. My. God! If you spend time micro managing like this you will never grow a business, let alone make it out of the shitter. Some things just aren’t worth a second of thought, go with your first reaction and move on. By the way, it isn’t hyphenated, at least that is my sub-one second of thought.

3. “Why do so many people shit with pens?”

The Entrepreneurial Lesson – I have no idea why so many people are shitting with pens. But I sure as hell hope they are bringing a notepad. Don’t leave your good ideas behind. Instead, write them in your notebook (and then leave the really funny ones on the wall, too).

4. “If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat!”

The Entrepreneurial Lesson – It’s OK to mess up. It is just another part of being an entrepreneur. But don’t be a jackass and leave your messes behind for someone else to clean up. When you make a mistake, fix it yourself. You will be held in higher esteem by your colleagues. Plus, they won’t be worried about sticking to the toilet seat or something gross like that.
