A
Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s,he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen,he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker,Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use,he quickly came up with a simple method — the Magic Meatball Maker.
He was sure there was a market for his machine,but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks,but he believed in his idea,and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer(制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for
a share in the profits(收益) ，local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend' s daughter helped him out with his first sales.
But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel(頻道) to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes,they had sold more than 4 ,000 units.
This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth,and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it's till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.
