I wrote a blog back in 2006 about 'The Story of Johnny the Bagger'. A simple tale about being ourselves when we are with our customers - and how easy it can be to add value to them. It is great to be reminded that it is the simple things that can make the biggest difference... Even in tough times. The book is well read at RedBalloon - but here is Barbara Glanz the author telling her story directly. Worth the two minutes.
Overview
From a very serious corporate career in marketing to creating a business based on fun RedBalloon, this is my journey. In this blog I share what it takes to be an entrepreneur and what I have learned - warts and all. I am also the author of I want what she is having which chronicles the first five years of building of a fast growing business.
Very proud to be awarded National Telstra Business Womens Award for 2008 in the Nokia Innovation Catogory

I question if this story is true. This story only exists as part of a woman's training videos. Check out this website. It seems to raise some good questions.

I hate to even think it isn't true because it would mean she's exploiting down syndrome to make a buck.
