(While ChopSaver is no longer sold in CVS stores, this was still a major accomplishment in out product journey.)
In the lifetime of any company, some days have special meaning, just like certain days have special meaning in a human life. When you are an entrepreneur and you work out of a home office and you know that your business success is ultimately tied to the blood, sweat, tears, passion and determination that you personally bring to the table, it is sometimes hard to separate work from personal life, especially when your product has your name on it, as Gosling’s Original ChopSaver Lip Care now does.
I pride myself on keeping things in perspective and April 28th (Wedding Day) and September 7 (my son’s birthday) will never be surpassed as important days in my life. But August 14th will now rank pretty high, as that is the day I walked into my neighborhood CVS/pharmacy store and saw my product on the shelf. Now, people looking for “the best lip balm on the planet” won’t have to look nearly as hard now that ChopSaver is being sold in over 7,400 stores across the US!
