Comment by MS. Eve on April 1, 2009 at 4:45pm: I am into Good health and Natural Stuff. And the Entrepreneur way of getting your Idea into the Visual, Material State. Keep up the good information sharing. I've started so many companies and businesses with NOTHING AND they become a reality. It's in the Spirit of the Human Nature.

Love you MUCH,

Comment by Cameron Cowan on December 6, 2008 at 4:07pm: I think you could skip a few steps because they had to go through all the drama of importing and manufacturing their product so that whole thing you can skip. But the word of mouth marketing and using networking for promotion is key! As they went to these juice bars and went up and down the west coast they slowly developed a network of people through which to sell their product so when it became popular the juice bars knew who to order from to bring in the product and then as the cash began to flow then they could pitch it to large retailers like whole foods and such and 13 million dollars later they are a success. But the whole point is that they used a network to do it.

Comment by Donald Bricker on December 2, 2008 at 4:35pm: Interesting show. I would like to see a similar 8 steps for a service as opposed to a product. I can see that most of the steps are the same but the international aspects are different as well as manufacturing.
