A Million Bucks in a Month
At about eight in the morning on June 16, a young man named Remi Frazier from Fort Collins, Colo., sat down on a bench in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle, glued a cell phone to his ear, and spread a New York City map across his lap. By early afternoon he had launched an unlikely entrepreneurial project to make $1 million within one month, using only a cell phone, a digital video camera, and a $100 bill. His self-imposed set of rules also meant he had made no advance contact with anyone in the city.To achieve his goal, Frazier, 27, planned to build a volunteer network of business consultants, conceptualize and design a product, conduct market research for that product, and finally manufacture and sell it on a wide scale. He would have 30 days to complete what a startup usually takes years to do.
Remi’s product is a called the Mantool Customizable Multitool.

Looks like a winner. Wonder why we don’t see stories like this on the front page news.

This isn’t a business story. Or even a rags-to-riches story. This, my friends, is a PR story. Remi is a brilliant PR strategist, and my guess is that his cool $1 million lies in this type of guerilla bootstrap PR consulting, and not in selling the Mantool. But you know what? I’m willing to bet the Mantool thing takes off as well! Forward movement has amazing power. The naysayers can all go roast marshmallows. Go, Remi, go!
