Micheal J. Lindell’s Biography

On the 28^th of June 1961, Mike was born in Mankato, Minnesota, in the United States into a Christian family, by his American parents whose identities have not yet been revealed.

While growing up, he moved around different parts of Minnesota such as Chaska and Carver. During his adolescent stage, he used to work in drive-in movie theaters and grocery stores to be able to earn some small cash with which he took care of some of his needs.

Michael started his journey to entrepreneurship early in life by establishing a few small businesses. With the profits he made from managing bars and restaurants, he advanced into building his pillow producing empire which eventually turned his fortunes around.

Micheal J. Lindell’s Career

Earlier in his life, Mike started his journey as an entrepreneur by opening a carpet cleaning business. He diversified when he realized some profits from this and started a chain of many other small businesses like bars, restaurants and lunch wagons in the Carver County region in Minnesota.

These businesses provided him with the capital with which he established his pillow producing company, MyPillow, in the year 2004. A hardworking and ambitious man, Mike did everything in his power to make his new business work, and it eventually became successful as it grew into a significant business venture.

He decided to start the pillow manufacturing company because of the low quality of pillows he bought from the market and had to sleep with at that time. These bad pillows left him waking up in after every sleep with a stiff neck and sore arm.

He established his own company and started making his ideal pillow, and the process took him almost a year. He tried to sell his products in the stores, but nobody wanted to buy his home-made pillows. Having been turned down, Mike decided to sell his products by himself.

He sold all his smaller businesses and dedicated his attention to marketing and selling his newest items. For a while, Mike Lindell had no success whatsoever. Eventually, luck came down on him after a customer bought and liked one of his pillows so much that he offered Mike a spot to sell his items in his Home and Garden show.

On his first day in the home show, Mike sold all of his pillows and kept on selling his products in various home shows, fairs, and expositions. In no time, he became a popular name in his vicinity, and his products also received the attention and exposure he had always fought for.

My Pillow was featured in the business section of the largest newspaper in Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, which attracted a lot of customers to Mike’s business. This kind of exposure was good for the business and it helped his company to start getting more and more orders. In the space of 40 days, the company hired ten times more workers than it had in the beginning.

Over the years, Michael Lindell’s company has expanded so much. From a business of one man, My Pillow now has more than 2000 employees serving the company in more than 15 retail locations, and has sold more than 40 million pillows to date.
