The Caboodles Blueprint
“Taking a vision and turning it into a multi million dollar business is what I have been doing for over 30 years. When I had my first idea I searched for this book. It didn’t exist. I wanted to read a book from someone who had actually taken a product to market. I wanted to know “where to start” and “what to do.” I wanted a simple guideline to follow – a blueprint.
​
This is my blueprint.”
