From Teen Entrepreneur to Billion-Dollar Business Builder: The Journey of Kevin Harrington
Hi, I'm Kevin Harrington, a serial entrepreneur who started my journey in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up as one of six kids, I was inspired by my father's hard work as a restaurateur. By the time I was 13, I was already working 40-hour weeks in the family business, which instilled in me a strong work ethic and deep appreciation for hard work.
At 15, I launched my first business sealing driveways, and by college, I was running a successful heating and air conditioning installation company with 25 employees. My passion for entrepreneurship was evident, and I thrived on turning ideas into profitable ventures.
My big break came when I saw an opportunity in the unused airtime of the Discovery Channel. That led to the creation of the infomercial industry, and I became a pioneer in direct-to-consumer marketing, turning ideas into million-dollar products. Over the years, I've worked with brands and personalities like George Foreman, Billy Mays, and Kim Kardashian, growing my companies like As Seen on TV, Inc. into household names.
In my career, I've launched over a thousand products and built 20 businesses, some reaching over $100 million in sales, and even a few billion-dollar ventures like Celsius Energy Drinks.
As one of the original sharks on Shark Tank, I've continued to invest in visionary ideas and people. This book is a testament to how hard work, determination, and spotting the right opportunity can lead to massive success. Let my journey inspire you to chase your entrepreneurial dreams and unlock your potential.
