Weekend Success Bulletin

I was recently talking with a colleague, who happens to be a licensed medical doctor.

He’s always wanted to take advantage of other business opportunities and came up with a health product with a group of other doctors.

As of now, his product is selling pretty well through various direct response channels and through consumer health shows. I asked him yesterday about getting his foot in the retail market. He then relayed to me an interesting story I’ve never heard before.

Years ago, when they had just designed the product, this group of doctors flew to the corporate headquarters of a major retailer to pitch the product. After their presentation, the head of purchasing basically said that he loved the product and wanted 10,000 to be placed in the flagship store. If it did well, which he assumed it would, he would put it into every store in America.

Basically, this was the best outcome of the entire meeting and, in theory, this should’ve been the start of a very lucrative business.

The problem was that the deal fell through because the doctors couldn’t get their product manufactured. He never got into specifics, but it seemed like once they left the meeting with this retailer, a 10,000-piece order in hand and the handshake promise of national distribution, they completely dropped the ball.

Basically, they couldn’t get the product manufactured to get it to the stores. Like I said, I don’t know the specifics, but I’m guessing that the upfront costs to make the product were so high that they would’ve probably lost money on the initial 10,000, so therefore decided not to pursue the opportunity.

What a waste! If given the opportunity, a true entrepreneur would’ve been on the phone with every manufacturer in the country to try to get this product made as soon as possible. I would’ve scratched and clawed to get them into the stores so fast. Even if I didn’t have the time (which I’m sure was a mitigating factor in this group of doctors’ reason for dropping the deal), I would’ve hired someone to get this going for me.

Opportunities like this come once in a blue moon and, while this product is in the market, it has never hit the order number of that original opportunity.

If you’re ever given an opportunity like this, whether it’s a big order for your product or something similar, grab it and run with it. Do not let anything get in your way. Treat it for what it is: a big break that could very well be the spark of your success.

Even if it means you have to postpone a vacation or have to sacrifice your time. Heck, even if it means losing money to start, look at the big picture and, if all goes well and your business is solid, this golden opportunity can be the start of a very successful life.
