Produktbeschreibung
Every family has a story to tell-some are just more extraordinary than others. In the father/son-authored memoir Madness, Miracles, Millions, Joseph and Larry Semprevivo tell their family's story, and in doing so, they demonstrate that with real sacrifice and hard work, anyone can realize their dreams. This book tells the story not only of a million-dollar company and its humble beginnings but of the family who built the company and the many obstacles, both personal and professional, they overcame to accomplish their ultimate success. This is certainly not a tale of silver spoons and entitlement. The Semprevivo family's inspiring account takes the Horatio Alger narrative to a new level by presenting a family that not only overcame poverty with hard work but also overcame life-threatening illness and near-fatal accidents.
Autorenporträt
Joseph Semprevivo was born November 1, 1971 in a small New Jersey town. At six years old, Joseph relocated to Deming, New Mexico, USA. At the age of nine, he was diagnosed with diabetes and by age 12, he created the first sugar free ice cream on the market. At age fifteen, one Sunday morning, he had his first cookie in seven years-a sugar free oatmeal cookie. He loved it so much he began to cry, and wanted to share the marvelous creation with the world. The fructose-sweetened Joseph's Cookies that we love and enjoy, and brownies, were eventually released into the mass market. On a mission to share his creation with other diabetics, he started by visiting local stores and speaking with apprehensive store managers. Store by store, city by city, state by state, Joseph steadily grew his business. In the mid-90's, along with thousands of independent stores, Kroger and Whole Foods became clients and secured a bright future. In 2003, Joseph launched on QVC and has aired 2-4 times per month during this time. Joseph's Sugar-Free Cookies are known as the most successful cookie in QVC history. The company's reach now spans approximately 140,000 domestic stores and 42 countries. The Book Madness, Miracles, Millions has won three major Book Awards: Axiom Business Book Award for Career History /Milestone, The Christian Illumination Book Award for Inspiration and The Beverly Hills Book Award for Career & Motivational.
