This amazing article reminds me of one thing as I read, which is, 'never allow others tell you who you are, rather, always live as led by the spirit of God.'
when we have a father/child relationship with God, He is more than able to reveal our gifts and talents to us and also help us to launch out using the potentials we have.
Take a deep breathe for once and imagine if the dream in the article was forgotten as a result of the judgment passed on it's worth by the Dragon's Den, it definitely would have worth £0 by this I mean, it would have been abandoned.
Think for a moment, are there dreams in your life that you have let go of because of what others thought about it? Are there things hindering you from launching out and becoming what you have be created to be? I want to believe that if you read this article and digest it, thinking of what is and what could have been, you will be inspired to launch out.
Always remember that He who gives the vision, gives the provision. Your creator will never give you a gift that is bigger than who He created you to be.
No more Procrastination, rise up today and invent that image you have in your mind, be that person that you have always aspired to be, create that world that you have always imagined, never let your dream die because of what a human being like you thinks about it, trust in your Creator to make you great.
Enjoy reading the Article.
This invention was rejected by Dragon’s Den – but now it’s worth £65million
But this is the product that eluded the hard-faced gang and went on to make a whopping fortune without them. At the time, Duncan Bannatyne claimed that the Tangle Teezer hairbrush left him wanting to pull his hair out – well, we bet he feels even more like that now that he realises what he’s missed out on.
The product, which is designed to work through wet and knotted hair, detangling it without any pain or trouble, is a hit worldwide and is now estimated to be worth an eye-watering £65million.
Entrepeneur Shaun Polfrey offered the Dragons a 15% stake in his company for an £80,000 investment and he was unanimously rejected and mocked by the panel.
James Caan blasted the product as a ‘waste of time’ while Peter Jones quipped that it was ‘hair-brained’.
Who’s laughing now though, guys?
Sold in over 70 countries, Tangle Teezer is also a hit with many high profile celebs with Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson and Cara Delevingne allegedly among showbiz fans of the product.
YouTube is awash with positive product reviews on it, including this slightly excitable one from Bargain Princess:
In order to raise the cash he needed that was not provided by the Dragons, Polfrey re-mortgaged his home and his risk paid off.
Speaking about the experience, he humbly told MailOnline: ‘Entrepreneurs do things differently. Businessmen are less likely to take risks and I think you can see that with the Dragons. Looking back on it there really isn’t a lot that I would change.
‘At the end of the day, for me, I gained a lot of expertise from it and it has helped bring together the great team I have now. Fast forward to now and we’ve just turned over £23.4million, the forecast for this year is that we’re going to hit £34million.’
A hair raising amount indeed.
Soz Dragons, you missed out this time. Still, at least you still have Reggae Reggae Sauce.
