Tuned Into Business:

If you are sick and tired of those reality shows featuring the attractive man with not much substance, then you’ll be glad to know that Beauty and the Geek is now casting. Whether you’re a movie buff, chess whiz, Mensa member, computer nerd, D&D Leader or spend your nights playing RPGs, this could be your chance to be a part of a show where intelligent geeks finish first and rich.

They are looking for intelligent and quirky guys who are 21 to 28 with a high IQ or a savvy intellect. If you are more likely to be featured on Jeopardy than The Bachelor, then this show could make you richer in life and even in love.

Beauty and the Geek is turning the tables and showing America that smart and quirky guys have more to offer. If you can teach a beauty a thing or two and have something to learn from them, then this is your perfect opportunity.

To AUDITION:

You must include your name, age, brief bio on how you are a geek,
contact phone number, city where you reside and a photo.

There’s no question in my mind why Donny Deutsch has featured Mike Michalowicz on his show The BIG Idea not once, not twice, not three times–but multiple times. For one, Mike has the gift of gab and a unique spin on how to get rich now, not someday.

Just when you thought the American Dream was dead on arrival, Mike comes along with solid, tried and true info on how to resuscitate your tired little list of goals and live the life of your dreams. He’s on fire, he’s got me on fire, and if you aren’t on fire and making money, it’s your own damn fault. He’s written The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, and it’s required reading. That is . . . if you want to join the ranks of the rich and famous (before you’re worn out and in a walker). I haven’t been this excited about a book since I got the first copy of my own book, Weekend Entrepreneur. LOL.

Bottom line, if you want to know what superstars say, do, how they act, write and who they network with, check Mike’s website. Everywhere I go I take his book with me, including to the bathroom . . .  don’t laff, it’s called The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur (duh?). It’s a quick read, only 178 pages. Mike’s even got tips on how you can increase your revenue by as much as 600 percent using the Visual Daily Metrics system.

If you miss the boat by not reading this tell-it-like-it-is guide to cleaning up in business even if you’re at the end of your roll, don’t blame me. I’m tryin’ to tell you waz up. He’ll even give you a free chapter excerpt of the book at www.toiletpaperentrepreneur.com.

Hit me back right here at Tuned Into Business and let me know if you’ve read the book and what you’re up to.  Also, if you’re stuck, maybe Mike will answer your most burning question or dilemma here.
