$150 Turned Into $15 Million

How $150 From 5 Customers Turned Into $15 Million

by Kim Klaver

This is a story about an entrepreneurial woman - an old friend
of mine who 19 years ago was just another soul looking for
something of her own. It all started with her first 5
customers. . .

"You know Kim, when I was first approached about this business,
I had been looking for something of my own for a few years
already. Back then, my husband was a carpenter, and I wanted to
do something, too. I had started an aerobics studio, a hair
salon, and then a dog grooming kennel. They all went down the
tubes, and we spent most of our savings.

"One day an acquaintance stopped by to show us a little water
filter gizmo you could put on sink, and said we could earn $30
for each one we sold. Since my husband remodeled kitchens
sometimes, and we didn't especially like our drinking water
that much, this seemed like a pretty good thing to try. We
figured I could set up appointments, and if we sold one per
week, we'd add $150 to our monthly income. That sounded good to
us. Well, you just cannot imagine our excitement when he brought
in an extra $150 that first month. Five sales!

"A few months later it got to almost $500 a month and we
thought, 'This is it! We've died and gone to heaven.' I started
setting up appointments for myself to show the units too. We
were so giddy our friends asked us what was going on. My
husband told a couple of the guys- a plumber he worked with and
another contractor, and they decided to do it too. We were just
so tickled to see a little income from some of THEIR sales, as
well...

"It's been 19 years now, and so much has happened with our
business. We've earned $15 million over these past years, and
we still find it hard to believe. . .

"Oh and let me tell you something, Kim. If the guy who came to
our house that first time had told us we'd be earning $10k/mo
we'd NEVER have signed up. We'd have thrown him out for taking
us for fools. We've never been much for telling big stories -
we believed a couple of hundred dollars was reasonable to
expect, and so we did it. It just grew from there. On some
days, we still can't believe it." -as told to Kim by Sue
Burdick.

Sue is very big banana in the industry today. But 19 years ago?
Many would have walked right by her in their search for a 'big
hitter.' After all, she just wanted a little something of her
own.

It all started with a few customers in her community who had
the same problem she did - the water didn't taste very good and
they all could use a little more income.

She helped them solve those problems - the way she had done for
herself.
