Zitat des Tages von Joy Mangano:
When I look back, some of the greatest people in the history of the world have created things where paths have never been with such resiliency.
I'm a firm believer in the circle of commerce.
I'll be a mentor to those who want to create a business, product or service and aren't exactly sure how to do that. To me, it's a true sign of success if I can help someone have a better time of it.
I am of the philosophy that if you work really hard and focus on things, you will get there in some form or fashion.
When I was going into inventing, it wasn't a dream the way someone goes into nursing or dancing. Because there's a path with that. It's very different when you say, 'I have an idea and it doesn't exist.' It's a very different path.
You can find a product and be aware of all the other products out there in just seconds. That's a very attractive method for companies and consumers. At the same time, it also creates a lot of competition.
Your destination might not end up being exactly what you envisioned to start with, but if you stick it out and work through the challenges, what you end up with will be far better than you could have ever imagined.
I look at life through product, and my goal is to impact people and make their lives better.
You can tell when somebody's authentic about what they're saying.
I told myself the next time I had a good idea, I would bring it to market.
Each time I invent something and have it manufactured, it's so incredibly exciting that I can't imagine ever wanting to stop. Envisioning new products is easy for me. I just don't have enough time in the day to design them all.
When I'm talking about a product, before it was a product, it was in my brain. So if I have an inspiration, I will literally get up in the middle of the night, and I'll dream about my customer... I don't feel like it's selling. I feel like it's talking about my children.
My famous line is 'Product is king.'
When I wake up, I think, 'What can I do to help others?' I think we all owe the world something. That's the way I am when I'm designing a product.
The Miracle Mop created an entirely new category of stick goods - the twist mop. And when I demonstrated it for people, they'd invariably say, 'I have to have that.'
As natural as it is for a parent to talk about their child, it is for me to talk about my product.
I'm a mom. I work. I have a house to clean, things to organize. We all have certain similar needs, and I address them.
There's a lot of pressure to make products better. I don't feel freer.
There is something special when creative people get together.
I've been told I miss every pass made at me! It would be wonderful to have a partner, but in my mind, it has to be like making a product. The product has to be meaningful, impact people - it has to be a great product.
Don't be afraid to have a reality check. Taking risks is OK, but you must be realistic.
I've been working on the new Miracle Mop for many years.
You have to make a decision: Am gonna be the person that takes the risk? Am I gonna be the person that says I'm gonna start this business and I'm gonna follow through with it no matter what the obstacles?
