A success story for me it's not only the ones that the business owners are making millions, but any business owner that is making an extra income for his family or future. The hot dog seller, the lawn maintenance company or the web designer are all entrepreneurs and if they have any kind of success, they're already winning.

“My kids are slobs and when they come home, they throw their backpacks against the foyer wall, kick off their shoes into my white moldings, and generally destroy the place,” says Debbie Wiener of Slobproof! PaintPen. “My oldest son Sam came home from college for Thanksgiving and saw me on my hands and knees, filling in the dings and dents on my baseboard molding with crusty cans of white paint. Without moving an inch from the TV, he asked, ‘Hey Mom, isn't there a better way for you to do that?’” From that one statement, Wiener developed the Slobproof! PaintPen, a vacuum-sealed paint pen that can be filled with any color paint for touch-ups.

Big Hot Dog was the brainstorm of Dan Abbate, “da Boss” of Big Hot Dog, during a family BBQ. His dad, Denny, got annoyed when “regular” hot dogs would roll onto the ground – which gave Dan the idea to create a hot dog that wouldn’t roll. Square hot dogs were too costly to manufacture, so the idea of a huge hot dog that could be sliced into patties was born. Not only do they not roll, the slices from a Big Hot Dog fit perfectly on hamburger buns. Abbate’s Big Hot Dog was featured on The History Channel’s “Modern Marvels: Supersized Foods” and was recently named by 2013 Guinness World Records as the “largest commercially available hot dog.”

“My product line resulted from me jumping off a boat on the dock, landing on a metal cleat and breaking a bone in my foot,” reveals Christina Daves, Founder of CastMedic Designs. “The doctor walked in with the ugly big, black walking medical boot and told me I had to wear it for the next eight weeks. I was going to New York City, Fashion Capital of the World, the next day,” says Daves. She scoured the Internet for something to make that boot fashionable and couldn’t find anything. “With nothing on the market and my research showing a market of close to four-million people wearing these boots annually, I designed and manufactured MediFashions,” says Daves. Winning awards and competitions, her boot socks and wraps have been donned by celebrities including Diana Ross and Olympic Gold Medalist Jordyn Wieber.
