Description

It isn't easy to take an idea and turn it into a tangible business, but that's what Jean Newell did. And on the road to turning her dream into a reality, she turned herself into an entrepreneur.

Her product " the PUP: Personal Utility Pouch " has gotten her on QVC and countless network TV shows. Now, the self-made businesswoman is using her road to success as inspiration for a new book, "The Barefooted CEO," to inspire others.

Her invention, triggered by necessity, is a high-tech tool belt that solves a personal need. And her product proved to be needed " the first time she was featured on QVC, she sold 4,000 PUPs in seven minutes!

She talks with Growing Bolder about her spin-off product, the GiZmo bag, and what mistakes she made on the road to becoming successful.

    Thanks Marc and Katy for your nice interview. In regards to starting a new business or perhaps some of the "tricks” and tips” I've picked up along the way, I invite you to visit my website at www.newcomarketing.com or my blog at www.jeannewellbusiness.blogspot.com. Also be watching for excerpts from my new book "The Barefooted CEO" which I will be posting here at Growing Bolder. Please feel free to contact me.
