Joy Mangano sells beaucoup items on the Home Shopping Network, but it’s not because she’s a star or celebrity. She’s an inventor… and her inventions have helped her create her own success.
The single mother of three didn’t set out to be a household name when she first broke into the business of inventing affordable and easy-to-use household products almost two decades ago. Back then, times were tough. In 1989, the divorced 33-year-old was juggling odd jobs and a night gig waiting tables to make ends meet. Then one day she had a eureka moment. Tired of getting her hands dirty from the disgusting water after mopping the floors, she came up with the idea for the self-wringing Miracle Mop. “It came to me. A self-wringing mop! It sounds so easy,” she says. “[I]t changed the entire stick good industry with an easy twist.”
What could a “Eureka Moment” mean for you? Mangano’s company now holds the trademarks and patents for over 100 products.
