Rich Because of Your Extraordinary Idea
Not the entire people can utilize their idea into something big. They had to have a brilliant idea, fresh and extraordinary then what left behind is chance and courageous to realize it. The last part was the most difficult thing to do! The courageous to realize even the most odd idea, can you do it? Off course there are silly people who have sillier idea and among them many reach their success because they brave enough to realize it, like what Jason Wall had done.
As Jason Wall sees it, success is all about having a ball. Since 1998, Wall has been topping car antennas with happy faces, 8-balls and even cowgirls—complete with braids and hats. Wall is president and CEO of In-Concept Inc., the company behind Antennaballs.com, which manufactures more than 500,000 custom antenna balls per month.
Based in Glendale, California, Antennaballs.com owes its success to one “man”: Jack. It all started when Wall saw a Jack In The Box fast-food commercial in mid-1997 that said the company had sold more than 3 million antenna balls. Sensing opportunity, Wall came up with a few designs he thought would penetrate the auto accessory and novelty industries. The designs stuck.
After selling four million balls through local gas stations and convenience stores, Wall recently landed some major national accounts, including AutoZone, Circle K and Wal-Mart, and he’s negotiating licensing deals with Universal Studios. With sales of $1.15 million for 1999 (one year after he started his business), Wall attributes timeliness to his overnight success. Six years later, Jason Wall is a multimillionaire.
“It’s very easy to think of a good idea,” Jason Wall says. “But I think success really comes down to execution and perseverance.”
