false 2922678 1 <b>It's the moment when you say, "There's gotta be a better way." It's the moment when you ask, "How can I solve this problem?"</b> <P>Donny Deutsch's hit CNBC show <i>The Big Idea</i> has put the spotlight on that ordinary moment and the people who have the courage and stamina to make their dreams come true. <P>Some people think a big idea is like a lightning bolt striking out of the blue that slams you in the head. But it's hardly ever like that. The big idea isn't an act of God. It's an act of daily life. Simply put, the idea that will make millions starts with an observation. <P>A carpenter gets tired of almost losing a finger every time he slices a bagel. Bam! The Bagel Guillotine. A mother is frustrated that her pantry is full of stale food because the packages don't close. Bam! Quick Seals. Howard Schultz notices on a trip to Italy that there are coffee bars on almost every corner. Bam! Starbucks. None of them had a barrel of cash. None of them had a ton of experience. They had a big idea and the will to follow through. <P>In <i>The Big Idea</i>, Deutsch draws not only on his own tremendous focus and expertise, but on that of dozens of the successful entrepreneurs whom he has interviewed, to help you create your own enterprise. From the "Gut Check Moment" to "Mom Power," <i>The Big Idea</i> takes aspiring entrepreneurs along every step of the way. <i>The Big Idea</i> is your road map to the American dream. 2949997 1 1 2008 Donny Deutsch's Big Idea: How To Make Your Entrepreneurial Dreams Come True, From The AHA Moment To Your First Million total:4|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:2|1:1| 4 10 21 2 2 1 false false Thu Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 19:10:51 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 11:11:23 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Wed Nov 19 07:52:04 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 07:52:43 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 09:36:55 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 09:37:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 20 16:38:08 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 16:38:08 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 31 12:34:19 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 12:34:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 10 09:43:14 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 09:43:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 09 20:15:27 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 20:15:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 08 13:57:41 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 13:57:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 24 10:35:32 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 10:35:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 23 14:46:09 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 14:46:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 05:25:49 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 21:55:20 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Fri Apr 10 11:30:43 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 16:30:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 17:37:55 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 17:38:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 18:56:51 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 18:56:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 11 17:32:46 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 17:32:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 04 21:14:37 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 21:14:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 28 06:59:12 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 06:59:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 07 05:53:17 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 05:53:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 09 21:21:55 -0700 2009 Wed Dec 03 11:41:13 -0800 2008 Fri Oct 09 21:21:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 12 20:21:49 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 20:21:49 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2922678
