Gary Bronga recognizes the importance of acting on a great idea. After working in the aerospace industry for over 21 years, Bronga is now a successful entrepreneur and the founder of a major corporation simply because he was able to nurture a simple concept. With perseverance, effort and only $500, Bronga changed his life. The Florida resident began his journey while working in Cape Canaveral. Bronga wore an identification badge daily for his job. One day, a large aerospace company handed out lapel pins for a promotion and just by chance, Bronga pinned his company identification badge to the lapel pin. It was several days later that Bronga came up with a more clever way to wear his work badge. He made numerous sketches and eventually came up with an idea. Bronga brought forth the concept of placing a “bar” at the bottom of a lapel pin to accommodate the common metal clip used on identification badges. In turn, this allowed him to have badge holders manufactured with customized logos for companies or associations and to create fun designs. Bronga didn’t have thousands to invest on his idea; he was working on nothing more than just a shoestring budget. He started developing his product in the smallest bedroom of his home, then moved to a larger room and eventually found his way into a 3,000 square foot commercial office space, and with the use of today’s technology back to a home office where it all started. Was it easy for Bronga in the beginning? Not at all, in fact, the inventor faced much rejection. So much so, he admitted to covering an entire wall in his home office with rejection letters. Ironically, most of those people and companies who sent out those letters later came calling on Bronga for his product. CLIPEZE, as his invention came to be known, has now sold over 3 million, continues to grow daily and is distributed through the Web, retail outlets and several catalogs worldwide. The CLIPEZE’s sales representative even placed the badge holders on the television show, ER, which was ranked the most watched show in America at the time. In addition to becoming an expert entrepreneur and founder of CLIPEZE Worldwide, Inc., Bronga is an author, blogger, small business coach, and successful public speaker. His book, Bringing a Product to Market From Your Home: With $500 and an Idea You Can Make Millions, is based on first-hand experiences and shows how to streamline the process of taking a product from an idea and turning it into reality. He has been awarded 5 US Patents that he obtained himself without the use of a Patent Attorney. Bronga’s blog site, which can be found at http://www.garybronga.com, offers ways of helping new entrepreneurs through his own experiences. Bronga’s blog gives a great degree of guidance to those who have big dreams, but small budgets. The writer has also been asked to be a frequent guest speaker at conferences, community colleges, universities and on Business Talk Radio/TV. Bronga overcame rejection, acknowledged and learned from his mistakes, and never once allowed himself to become defeated. He is motivating, is an innovative problem-solver, and wants others to know that anything and everything is achievable, even when you have very little money to begin with. “Your idea does not have to involve rocket science. You do not have to invent a new super computer,” states Bronga. “A simple idea is often best. An idea that inspires others to say, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ can make millions of dollars.” For more information on Gary Bronga, please visit the following websites: http://www.garybronga.com, http://www.clipeze.com Title: Bringing a Product to Market From Your Home: With $500 and an Idea You can Make Millions Author: Gary Bronga Published: 2010 Publisher: Clipeze Worldwide, Inc.

Wearing identification badges had always been a part of his working wardrobe. A large aerospace company handed out a lapel pin for a promotion in the spring of 1995. Just by chance Gary pinned his company Identification badge to the lapel pin. An idea for a better way to wear his identification badge came to him. For several days he made many drawings and came up with the idea to place a “bar” at the bottom of a lapel pin to accommodate the common bulldog metal clip on identification badges. This enabled him to make badge holders of custom logos for Companies or Associations, or create many fun designs that would make wearing badges more enjoyable. Gary started with his computer and only $500.00. Originally he had enough rejection letters to wallpaper his home office. Most of the people and companies that rejected him then call him now. Today, his product, CLIPEZE, is sold in over 1,000 uniform stores and 20 catalogs. One representative even placed it on the television show “ER,” the number one rated show in America at the time. To date CLIPEZE Worldwide, LLC has sold over 3 million CLIPEZE badge holders; and the product is found in retail outlets across the world; and found on the product’s official website.
