George Foreman and his Lean, Mean, Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine

George Foreman, Olympic gold medalist, two time World Heavyweight Champion, marketing genius and entrepreneur extraordinaire. He made over $150 million from sales of his ‘Knock-Out-The-Fat’ grills. Over 80 million have been sold; that’s almost one for every US household. His portfolio of ventures also includes Knock-Out cleaners, Walk It Off With George exercise videos, Comfort Zone clothing line, shoes, watches and several best selling books. One of nine children, he grew up in poverty in a house that didn’t even have electricity. Despite his challenges, he fought his way to the top. BusinessWeek has dubbed him ‘Marketing Champ of the World.’ He is the American dream personified. Stay tuned to hear his inspiring words. George Foreman’s advice for entrepreneurs: “Find something that you believe in. Learn to do something that no one else can do as good as you and any dream can be realized. And I tell them the George Foreman story for proof.”
