How do you turn a good idea into a great business?

Lots of us have ideas we think
would make great businesses. Most of us never do anything with those
ideas. Maybe it’s because we’re really happy with our jobs, maybe it’s
because we’re not confident that our idea would really work. Or maybe
it’s simply because we don’t know where to start.

How They Started: How 30 Good Ideas Became Great Companies is about 30 people who had an idea, and went on to start a business. Those
businesses are all extremely successful and most are now household names
all across America.

With success stories ranging from
retail and gaming to social media and the restaurant business, How They
Started relives the humble beginnings of companies such as Coca-Cola
and Disney, Google and Twitter, Zynga and Chipotle Grill. Through
personal interviews with key sources – including founders, investors and
past employees – each profile reveals how the company took its first
tentative steps and subsequently became the famous name it is today.

Bainbridge Island author Carol Tice, regular
writer for Entrepreneur Magazine, who wrote the book with entrepreneur David Lester, will talk about such key questions as:

• What happened first?
• How did they choose their name?
• How much did it cost to set up?
• Where did they find suppliers?
• How did they get their first customers?
• What problems did they run into - and how did they overcome them?
