CNBC:

In garages, basements, spare rooms and even dorm rooms all across America, hard-working dreamers are launching businesses right this minute. The thought of this really gets me going.

I’m all about the underdog, the passionate entrepreneur with a small amount of cash and a huge heart. I refer to these people as Toilet Paper Entrepreneurs, the resourceful men and women who can get by on three sheets. They find a way to make it happen, even if they are at the end of their roll.

The best ideas come from having precious few resources, and yet so often people see this as lack, an obstacle to their success. On the flip side, many businesses throw money at problems the very second the cash starts flowing in, thereby eliminating the magic of necessity.

Toilet Paper Entrepreneurs work miracles with just three sheets – or less – even when they have a warehouse full of stockpiled toilet paper. Here’s how you can too:

* Cultivate a Powerful Foundation of Enabling Beliefs

* Work in Your Field of Passion

* Slant Toward Premature Action

* Be Extremely Great at Extremely Little

* Use Ingenuity Over Money

* Dominate a Niche

* Marry Long-Term Focus with Short-Term Action

* Be a Little Crazy
