SUCCESS RATE

• One accountant turned pastry chef has opened his own school teaching how to avoid disasters in the kitchen. He sends everyone home from his classes with a bag of cookies he created, called “Number Crunchies,” thus sampling his product, reminding potential catering customers that he has all the reliability and value of a good accountant, and leaving a unique marketing message of good taste, humor, and creativity.
• One flight attendant turned writer has turned the memoir and memory of her precipitous and difficult divorce into a book and a business, with “divorce wear for the recently dumped.”
• One jewelry designer who was successfully selling one of a kind sculptured pieces for hundreds of dollars is now making thousands selling “many of a kind” reproductions of her most sought after work.
• One manicurist turned shoe designer has leveraged her experience with feet to create FashionFix. She spends all weekend gluing Swarovski crystals on upscale flip-flops and all week trying to keep up with the demand at $48 per pair at the retail corner she has set up in the waiting room of the salon where she works.
