Are YOU A Media Darling Entrepreneur or Toilet Paper Entrepreneur?
What the heck is the difference between these two types of entrepreneurs?
In his book The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur , Mike Michalowicz describes the differences between the world of modern day entrepreneurs. A Media Darling Entrepreneur is someone who seems to rocket to huge success seamlessly, almost overnight. A Toilet Paper Entrepreneur on the other hand, is someone who struggled and worked much harder to get to where they are. Most entrepreneurs fall into category number 2.
And that’s OK. Building a business takes time. Depending on what you want to start, it may be helpful to get experience in the business by working for someone else before stepping out on your own.
So don’t be upset if you don’t become an overnight success: no one has. Even the people that seem to rocket to the top had months and years of preparation -where they "worked" for free- before getting into the big leagues. Have patience and persistence, and if you truly desire a better life for yourself (and others), you’ll join with them someday. Godspeed.

2 Truths About Business Investments
There are 2 truths to the world of business that you must always keep in mind when understanding the world and how everything will impact your money:
1. Corporations and businesses exist for one reason: To maximize shareholder value.
2. Investors (shareholders-you and I) invest for one reason: To get the maximum return on our investment.
These two simple truths are the core foundation for capitalism. Remember these two pillars when looking at the world around you. What you invest in has a direct impact on the rest of the world, because without your backing, many companies would not exist.
