Mommy Millionaire - Tapa dura

One year, Kim Lavine decided to make Christmas presents for her boys' teachers. She filled a homemade pillow with feed corn, it could be stuck in a freezer or heated in a microwave to comfort aches and pains - a personal spa in a pillow. This practical, step-by-step guide follows Kim as she develops her product, named a Wuvit, into a multi-million business. She shares everything she learned that hard way from years of trial and error, including: how to develop and patent an idea while saving thousands; how to make a cold call; how to get on QVC; how to work a trade show; how to develop an "elevator pitch"; how to break down the doors of big retailers; everything you need to know about manufacturing and distribution; and how to raise capital.

This daring mom's incredible journey is an inspirational story of personal transformation, success, and the American Dream.  And she shares everything she learned along the way from years of trial and error and at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
